A firefly glows by the direct conversion of chemical energy to light. The light emitted by a firefly has peak intensity at a wavelength of 550 nm. Part A What is the minimum chemical energy, in eV, required to generate each photon

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the Planck relation

          E = h f

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

          c = λ f

           f- c /λ

we substitute

          E = h c /λ

let's calculate

          E = 6.63 10-34 3 10⁸ / 550 10-9

          E = 3.616 10-19 J

let's reduce to eV

          E = 3.616 10-19 J (1 eV / 1.6 10-19)

          E = 2.26 eV
