Which of the following is closest to the frequency of the light with photon energy of 3.3 x 10^-19 J?
A) 5.0 x 10^-33 s^-1
B) 5.0 x 10^-16 s^-1
C) 5.0 x 10^14 s^-1
D) 5.0 x 10^32 s^-1
To find the frequency, we use the formula for photon energy: E = h * f, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J·s), and f is the frequency.
Rearranging the formula to solve for frequency: f = E / h.
Substitute the given values: f = (3.3 x 10^-19 J) / (6.626 x 10^-34 J·s).
Calculate: f ≈ 4.98 x 10^14 s^-1.
The closest option is: C) 5.0 x 10^14 s^-1.
