Answer the following problems showing all work. Remember, you are solving the problems either using dimensional analysis (DA) or equation method.

Remember
a. Your constants or conversion factors are c = 3.00E8 m/s or 3.00E8 m Hz, 1 Hz = 1 (1/s), h = 6.60E-34 J/Hz
b. If you use equations they are c=(λ)(f), E=(h)(f)
c. Write 1/s as one unit over another not a slash
d. For example, 6.50E-4 m also can be written as 6.50 X 10-4 m
e. For knowing color, leave blank until I get you a visible light spectrum with wavelength scale
Light Equation

1) What is the frequency of light (Hz) if it has a wavelength of 625nm ?

2) What is the frequency of light (Hz) if it has a wavelength of 452nm ?

3) What is the wavelength (in nm) of light that has a frequency of 7.25E14 Hz?

4) What is the wavelength (in nm) of light that has a frequency of 4.76E14 Hz?


Energy Equation (also called Planck's Equation)

5) What is the the energy in light that has a frequency of 6.27E14 Hz?

6) What is the frequency of light (Hz) if the energy (Planck said energy packet size) is 4.95E-19 J?

7) What is the energy (as Planck said, the photon) of the light if it has a frequency of 7.15E14Hz ?

8) What is the frequency of light if the energy is 3.14E-19J ?


Answers (need 3 sig fig in answer):
1) 4.80E14 Hz
2) 6.64E14 Hz
3) 413 nm
4) 630 nm
5) 4.14E-19 J
6) 7.50E14 Hz
7) 4.72E-19 J
8) 4.76E14 Hz
