Chapter 6, Problem 134AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum wavelength (in nm) is to be determined. Whether the use of sunlight as an energy source for the process is feasible or not is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The energy of a photon can be expressed as follows:

$\text{E}=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda }$

Here, E denotes the energy of photon, $\text{h}$ denotes Planck’s constant $\left(6.63\times {10}^{-34}\text{ J}\cdot \text{s}\right)$, $\text{c}$ denotes the speed of light $\left(3.0\times {10}^8\text{ m/s}\right)$, and $\lambda$ denotes the wavelength.

Conversion of meter to nanometer is as $\frac{1.00\text{ nm}}{1.00\times {10}^{-9}\text{ m}}$
