Answer:
Energy is found as:
E = 1.987·10⁻¹⁹ J
Explanation:
Energy of a single photon of infrared light can be found by using the following formula:
[tex]E=hf[/tex]
where
E = in Joules
h = Planck's constant = 6.627×10 ⁻³⁴ J
f = frequency in hertz
It can also be written as:
[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]
where
c = 2.998×10⁸ ms⁻¹
λ = wavelength
Wavelength is given in the question which is:
λ = 1×10⁻⁶m
Substitute all the values in the Energy formula
[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\E = \frac{(6.627\cdot10^{-34})(2.998\cdot10^8)}{1\cdot10^{-6}}\\E = 1.987\cdot10^{-19}J[/tex]
