Answer:

λ = 5.68×10⁻⁷ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Energy of photon = 3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

Wavelength of photon = ?

Solution:

E = hc/λ

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

Now we will put the values in formula.

3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js × 3×10⁸ m/s/ λ

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js × 3×10⁸ m/s / 3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 19.89×10⁻²⁶ J.m / 3.50 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 5.68×10⁻⁷ m
