Answer

(a) $1.09\times 10^{15}Hz; 275nm$ (b) Ultraviolet

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $f=\frac{E}{h}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f=\frac{7.24\times 10^{-19}J}{6.623\times 10^{-34}J.s}$ $f=1.09\times 10^{15}Hz$ Now $\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{1.09\times 10^{15}Hz}$ $\lambda=275\times 10^{-9}m$ $\lambda=275nm$ (b) We know that the wavelength of the emitted photon is $275nm$. The range of the wavelength of the $UV$ region is $\lambda_{UV}\lt 400nm$. Thus, the photon lies in the ultra violet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
