Chapter 12, Problem 12

(choose chapter or problem)

It’s useful to develop a feeling for the amounts of energy that correspond to different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Calculate the energies in kJ/mol of each of the following kinds of radiation:

(a) A gamma ray with \(\lambda=5.0 \times 10^{-11}\) m

(b) An X ray with \(\lambda=3.0 \times 10^{-9}\) m

(c) Ultraviolet light with \(\nu=6.0 \times 10^{15}\) Hz

(d) Visible light with \(\nu=7.0 \times 10^{14}\) Hz

(e) Infrared radiation with \(\lambda=2.0 \times 10^{-5}\) m

(f) Microwave radiation with \(\nu=1.0 \times 10^{11}\) Hz
