The value of Planck's constant is 6.63 $\times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}$. The velocity of light is $3.0 \times$ $10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. Which value is closest to the wavelength in nanometers of quantum of light with frequency of $8 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ ?
  1. $2 \times 10^{-25}$
  2. $5 \times 10^{-18}$
  3. $4 \times 10^1$
  4. $3 \times 10^7$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & c=v \times \lambda ; \lambda=\frac{c}{v} \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{3 \times 10^8}{8 \times 10^{15}}=0.375 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \\ & =0.375 \times 10^{-7} \times 10^9 \mathrm{~nm} \\ & =0.375 \times 10^2 \mathrm{~nm} \\ & =37.5 \mathrm{~nm} \\ & \approx 4 \times 10 \mathrm{~nm} \end{aligned}$
