Answer

a) $f=9.8\times 10^{14}Hz$ b) $\lambda=306\times 10^{-9}m=306nm$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required frequency as follows: $E=hf$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $6.5\times 10^{-19}J=(6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s)f$ $\implies f=\frac{6.5\times 10^{-19}J}{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s}$ $f=9.8\times 10^{14}Hz$ Now, the wavelength can be calculated as $\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{9.8\times 10^{14}Hz}$ $\lambda=306\times 10^{-9}m=306nm$
