A laser emits photons having an energy of 3.74 × 10–19 J. What color would be expected for the light emitted by this laser? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, h = 6.63 × 10–34 J ⋅ s)

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.
