Question
CBSEENPH12038127

What is the wavelength of a photon whose energy is 1 eV? In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is it?

Solution

Energy of photon, E = 1 eV

Using the formula,
Energy = (hv) = hcλ
           λ = hcenergy = 6.625 × 10-34 × 3 × 1081.6 × 10-19

 λ = 1.24 × 10-5m 

This is Infrared rays.
