The energy of an X-ray photon having wavelength of 3 x 10⁻¹⁰?
The energy of an X-ray photon having wavelength of 3 x 10⁻¹⁰?
Explanation
The energy (E) of a photon is given by:
E = hc/λ
where h is Planck's constant (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J s), c is the speed of light (3 x 10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength.
E = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴) * (3 x 10⁸) / (3 x 10⁻¹⁰) = 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁶ J
