Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy of a photon is given by E = hc/λ, where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light (3 × 10^8 m/s), and λ is the wavelength. Converting 600 nm to meters (600 × 10^-9 m), we calculate E ≈ 3.31 × 10^-19 J. Converting to electron volts (1 eV = 1.602 × 10^-19 J), E ≈ 2.07 eV.
