Chapter 15.6, Problem 15.11.2PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The longest wavelength of radiation to break the ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ bond and the region of calculated wavelengthin the electromagnetic spectrum should be determined.

Concept Introduction: The wavelength of photons is calculated using the formula,

$\begin{array}{c}{\text{E}}_{\text{photon}}\text{=}\frac{\text{hc}}{\text{λ}}\\ \text{λ=}\frac{\text{hc}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{photon}}}\end{array}$

Where,

• ${\text{E}}_{\text{photon}}$ is photon energy.
• $\text{h}$ is Planck’s constant $\left(\text{6}{\text{.626×10}}^{-\text{34}}\text{J}\cdot \text{s}\right)$ .
• $\text{λ}$is the wavelength.
• $\text{c}$ is the speed of light $\left({\text{3×10}}^{\text{8}}\text{m}/\text{s}\right)$ .
