Answer:
The wavelength of the emitted photons 532 nm, corresponds to a visible light having GREEN color.
Explanation:
Given;
energy of the emitted photons, E = 3.74 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
speed of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Planck’s constant, h = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
The wavelength of the emitted light will be calculated by applying energy of photons;
where;
E is the energy emitted light
h is Planck’s constant
f is frequency of the emitted photon
But f = c / λ
where;
λ is the wavelength of the emitted photons
λ ≅ 532 nm
the wavelength of the emitted photons is 532 nm.
Therefore, the wavelength of the emitted photons 532 nm, corresponds to a visible light having GREEN color.
