The relationship E= (1.24 *10 ^3) / λ, where E is the energy of a photon in electron colds and λ is the wavelength in nanometres, is a handy form of the equation E = (h*c) / λ. Substitute E=(h*c) / λ and make any necessary unit conversions, to show that E= (1.24*10^3) / λ, is valid for nanometres and electron volts.
Basically, i have to solve for h*c.. i did that and i got:
hc= (6.63 * 10 ^-34 J/s) * (3.0 * 10^8 m/s)
= 1.989 * 10 ^ -25 J/m
I now need to convert that into nanometres and electron volts (eV).
1 nm = 1.0 * 10^9 m and 1eV = 1.60 * 10^ -19 J
I'm having difficulty...anyone know how to solve this?
