The bright yellow light emitted by a sodium vapor lamp consists of two emission lines at 589.0 and 589.6 nm. What are the frequency and the energy of a photon of light at each of these wavelengths? What are the energies in kJ/mol?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

wavelength of emissions are

[tex]\lambda _1=589 nm[/tex]

[tex]\lambda _2=589.6 nm[/tex]

Energy is given by

[tex]E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }[/tex]

where h=Planck's constant

x=velocity of Light

[tex]\lambda [/tex]=wavelength of emission

[tex]E_1=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}[/tex]

[tex]E_1=3.374\times 10^{-19} J[/tex]

[tex]E_1 in kJ/mol[/tex]

[tex]E_1=203.2 kJ/mol[/tex]

frequency corresponding to this emission

[tex]\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }[/tex]

[tex]\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}[/tex]

[tex]\nu _1=5.09\times 10^{14} Hz[/tex]

Energy corresponding to [tex]\lambda _2[/tex]

[tex]E_2=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}[/tex]

[tex]E_2=3.371\times 10^{-19} J[/tex]

[tex]E_2=203.02 kJ/mol[/tex]

frequency corresponding to this emission

[tex]\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }[/tex]

[tex]\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}[/tex]

[tex]\nu _1=5.088\times 10^{14} Hz[/tex]
