The wavelength of a particular color of yellow light is 579 nm. The energy of this wavelength of light is

3.44× 10⁻¹⁹Joules

Explanation:

Energy of the wavelength is expressed using the formula:

E = hc/λ

h is the Planck constant

c is the velocity of light

λ is the wavelength

Given

h = 6.63 × 10^-34 m² kg / s

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

λ = 579nm = 579 × 10⁻⁹m

λ = 5.79× 10⁻⁷m

Substitute the given values into the formula

E = hc/λ

E = (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴× 3×10⁸)/5.79× 10⁻⁷

E = 19.89× 10⁻³⁴⁺⁸/5.79× 10⁻⁷

E = 19.89× 10⁻²⁶/5.79× 10⁻⁷

E = 3.44× 10⁻²⁶⁺⁷

E = 3.44× 10⁻¹⁹Joules

Hence the energy of this wavelength of light is 3.44× 10⁻¹⁹Joules
