Answer

(a) $E = 1.86\times 10^{-6}~eV$ (b) $E = 2.76~eV$ (c) $E = 27.6~keV$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the energy of each photon: $E = h~f$ $E = (6.626\times 10^{-34}~J~s)(450\times 10^6~Hz)$ $E = 2.9817\times 10^{-25}~J$ $E = (2.9817\times 10^{-25}~J)(\frac{1~eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}~J})$ $E = 1.86\times 10^{-6}~eV$ (b) We can find the energy of each photon: $E = \frac{h~c}{\lambda}$ $E = \frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}~J~s)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}{450\times 10^{-9}~m}$ $E = 4.4173\times 10^{-19}~J$ $E = (4.4173\times 10^{-19}~J)(\frac{1~eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}~J})$ $E = 2.76~eV$ (c) We can find the energy of each photon: $E = \frac{h~c}{\lambda}$ $E = \frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}~J~s)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}{0.045\times 10^{-9}~m}$ $E = 4.4173\times 10^{-15}~J$ $E = (4.4173\times 10^{-15}~J)(\frac{1~eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}~J})$ $E = 2.76\times 10^4~eV$ $E = 27.6~keV$
