the bright red line from the emission spectrum of hyrogen has a wave lngth of 657 nm. what is the energy, in joules, of a single photon of this light
Wavelength=c/v, where c=speed of light, v=frequency
v=c/w=3 X 10^8/6.57 X 10^-7
v=4.566 X 10^14 Hertz
E=hv, where h is Planck's constant, v is the frequency
E=6.63 X 10^-34 X 4.566 X 10^14
E=3.0274 X 10^-19 Joules- the energy of a single photon
