(b) Ozone absorbs radiation of wavelengths 2200–2900 Å, thus protecting organisms from this radiation. Find the frequency and energy of the most energetic of these photons.

Respuesta :

The frequency and energy of most energetic of these photons is[tex]1.36*10^{15}[/tex] Hz and [tex]9.04*10^{-19}[/tex] J respectively.

The high energy photons will have least wavelength. Taking the given less wavelength for calculation of frequency and energy of photons.

λ = 2200  Å

Also, we know, 1 Å = [tex]10^{-10}[/tex] m

So, λ = [tex]2200*10^{-10}[/tex]

λ = [tex]2.2*10^{-7}[/tex] m

Now, calculating frequency using the formula -

c = fλ, where c is speed of light, f is frequency and λ is wavelength.

We know, c = [tex]3*10^{8}[/tex] m/s

f = c/λ

f = [tex]\frac{3*10^{8} }{2.2*10^{-7} }[/tex]

frequency = [tex]1.36*10^{15}[/tex] Hz

Now, calculating Energy through the formula -

E = hf, where E is energy, h is planck's constant and f is frequency

Value of planck's constant = [tex]6.63*10^{-34}[/tex] Js

E = [tex]6.63*10^{-34}[/tex]*[tex]1.36*10^{15}[/tex]

Energy = [tex]9.04*10^{-19}[/tex] J

Thus, frequency and energy of photons is [tex]1.36*10^{15}[/tex] Hz and [tex]9.04*10^{-19}[/tex] J respectively.
