The argon fluoride (arf) laser used in some refractive eye surgeries emits electromagnetic radiation of 193.3 nm wavelength. what is the frequency of the arf laser's radiation? what is the energy of a single quantum of the radiation?

Respuesta :

The frequency of the radiation is 1.6 * 10^15 Hz while its energy is 1.056 * 10^-18 J

What is the frequency?

Recall that the electromagnetic radiation is commonly called light. All the members of the electromagnetic spectrum are known to have the speed of light which is 3 * 10^8 m/s. The first task that we have is to obtain the frequency of the electromagnetic wave since we have the wavelength of the wave we seek.

Given that;

frequency = Speed of light/ wavelength

Frequency =  3 * 10^8 m/s/193.3 * 10^-9 m

Frequency = 1.6 * 10^15 Hz

Next we need to obtain the energy of the radiation and we have to do that from;

E = hf

E = energy of the photon

h = Planks constant

f = frequency of the photon

E = 6.6 * 10^-34 * 1.6 * 10^15 Hz

E = 1.056 * 10^-18 J
