Answer:
E = 1.24MeV
Explanation:
The photon travels at the speed of light, 3.0 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex] m/s, and given that its frequency = 1 picometer = 1.0 × [tex]10^{-12}[/tex] m.
Its energy can be determined by;
E = hf
= (hc) ÷ λ
where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant, 6.626 × [tex]10^{-34}[/tex] Js, c is the speed of the light and f is its frequency.
Therefore,
E = (6.626 × [tex]10^{-34}[/tex]× 3.0 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex]) ÷ 1.0 × [tex]10^{-12}[/tex]
= 1.9878 × [tex]10^{-25}[/tex] ÷ 1.0 × [tex]10^{-12}[/tex]
E = 1.9878 × [tex]10^{-13}[/tex] J
But, 1 eV = 1.6 × [tex]10^{-19}[/tex] J. So that;
E = [tex]\frac{1.9878*10^{-13} }{1.6*10^{-19} }[/tex]
= 1242375 eV
∴ E = 1.24MeV
The energy of the photon is 1.24MeV.
