![1. **Light emitted by sodium vapor lamps** (like those on highway 30 outside BHS) has a wavelength (\(\lambda\)) of \(5.89 \times 10^2\) nm.
a) **Calculate the frequency of this radiation in Hz.**
\[
\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda} \rightarrow \frac{2.998 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}}{5.98 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}} = 5.01 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz}
\]
The frequency is \(5.01 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz}\).
b) **Determine the energy in joules (J) of one photon of this radiation.**
\[
E_{\text{photon}} = 5.01 \times 10^{14} \, \text{s}^{-1} \times 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J}\cdot\text{s} = 3.32 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}
\]
The energy is \(3.32 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}\).
c) **Determine the energy in joules (J) of one mole of photons which have this wavelength.**
\[
\frac{3.32 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}}{\text{photon}} \times \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{photons}}{1 \, \text{mole}} = 1.99 \times 10^5 \, \text{J}
\]
The energy is \(1.99 \times 10^5 \, \text{J}\).
d) **In what region of the light spectrum (IR, UV, visible, x-ray etc.) is this radiation found?**
The text does not include a specific answer for this part, but given the wavelength of approximately \(589\) nm, it is in the visible spectrum.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F32e33d2f-c157-43e7-b72d-4853ffe1c76c%2F5962f2e3-8e6b-411e-bed5-f04e23b0dbe9%2Fokcdj4_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
