How many Joules of energy are there in one photon of yellow light whose wavelength is 630 nanometers?
W=c/v, c=speed of light, v=frequency
6.3 X 10^-7=3 X 10^8/v
v=3 X 10^8 / 6.3 X 10^-7
v=4.76 X 10^14 Hz-frequency of the yellow light.
E=hv, h=Planck's constant,
E=(4.76 X 10^14)Hz X 6.62607×10^-34 J s
E=3.15401×10^-19 Joules- the energy of a single photon of yellow light.
