Chapter 12, Problem 23E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Frequency range of ultraviolet light is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The formula to calculate frequency is as follows:

  $\lambda \cdot v=c$

Where,

• $\lambda$ denotes wavelength.
• $v$ denotes frequency.
• $c$ denotes speed of light.

As per Planck’s hypothesis the energy associated with photon is given as follow:

  $E=h\cdot v$

Where,

• $v$ denotes frequency.
• $h$ denotes Planck’s constant.
