Answer

$\lambda = 1.2\times 10^{-14}~m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the energy of each photon: $E = m~c^2$ $E = (207)(9.1\times 10^{-31}~kg)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)^2$ $E = 1.695\times 10^{-11}~J$ We can find the wavelength of each photon: $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$ $\lambda = \frac{hc}{E}$ $\lambda = \frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}~J~s)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}{1.695\times 10^{-11}~J}$ $\lambda = 1.2\times 10^{-14}~m$
