Answer: 2.48×10^-17 J
Explanation:
Given the following :
Wavelength = 8nm (8 x 10^-9 m)
Energy(e) of X-ray =?
Energy=[speed of light(c) × planck's constant (h)] ÷ wavelength
Speed of light = 3×10^8m/s
Planck's constant = 6.626×10^-34 Js
Wavelength = 8 x 10^-9 m
Energy = [(3×10^8) * (6.626×10^-34)] / 8 x 10^-9
Energy = [19.878×10^(8-34)] / 8 x 10^-9
Energy = 2.48475 × 10^(-26+9)
Energy = 2.48×10^-17 J
