Answer : The wavelength of a photon is, 3.6 m
Explanation :
[tex]E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}[/tex]
where,
E = energy of photon = [tex]5.518\times 10^{-26}J[/tex]
h = Planck's constant = [tex]6.626\times 10^{-34}Js[/tex]
c = speed of light = [tex]2.998\times 10^{8}m/s[/tex]
[tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength of a photon = ?
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the wavelength of a photon.
[tex]5.518\times 10^{-26}J=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 2.998\times 10^{8}m/s}{\lambda}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda=3.599m\approx 3.6m[/tex]
Therefore, the wavelength of a photon is, 3.6 m
The wavelength of the photon having twice the energy as that of the photon of wavelength [tex]600\,{\text{nm}}[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{300\,{\text{nm}}}[/tex] .
Further Explanation:
The photons are the small packets of energy that move at the speed of light. The photons are considered to remain always in motion. The energy associated with a moving photon is given by:
[tex]E = \dfrac{{hc}}{\lambda }[/tex]
Here, [tex]E[/tex] is the energy associated with the photon, [tex]h[/tex] is the Planck’s constant, [tex]c[/tex] is the speed of light and [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength of the moving photon.
The value of the Planck’s constant is [tex]6.6 \times {10^{ - 34}}\,{\text{J}} \cdot {\text{s}}[/tex] .
The wavelength of the photon is [tex]600\,{\text{nm}}[/tex] .
The energy associated with the photon of wavelength [tex]600\,{\text{nm}}[/tex] is:
[tex]\begin{aligned}{E_1}&=\frac{{\left( {6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \right) \times \left( {3 \times {{10}^8}} \right)}}{{600 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}}\\&=\frac{{1.98 \times {{10}^{ - 25}}}}{{6 \times {{10}^{ - 7}}}}\\&= 3.3 \times {10^{ - 19}}\,{\text{J}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The wavelength of photon having energy double of this:
[tex]\begin{aligned}E' &= 2{E_1}\\&= 2 \times\left( {3.3 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}} \right)\,{\text{J}}\\&{\text{ = 6}}{\text{.6}} \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{ - 19}}\,{\text{J}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The new wavelength of the photon will be:
[tex]\lambda ' = \dfrac{{hc}}{{E'}}[/tex]
Substitute [tex]6.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}\,{\text{J}}[/tex] for [tex]E'[/tex] in above expression.
[tex]\begin{aligned}\lambda ' &= \frac{{\left( {6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \right) \times \left( {3 \times {{10}^8}} \right)}}{{6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}}}\\&=\frac{{1.98 \times {{10}^{ - 25}}}}{{6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}}}\,{\text{m}}\\&= 3.0 \times {10^{ - 7}}\,{\text{m}}\\&= 300\,{\text{nm}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The wavelength of the photon having twice the energy as that of the photon of wavelength [tex]600\,{\text{nm}}[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{300\,{\text{nm}}}[/tex].

Chapter: Photon and Energy
Keywords: Wavelength, photon, energy, E=hc/lamda, 600nm, twice the energy, Planck’s constant, small packets of energy, 300nm, speed of light.
Planck's equation states that
E = hf
where
E = the energy,
h = Planck's constant
f = the frequency
Because
c = fλ
where
c = velocity of light,
λ = wavelength
therefore
E = h(c/λ)
Photon #1:
The wavelength is λ₁ = 60 nm.
The energy is
E₁ = (hc)/λ₁
Photon #2:
The energy is twice that of photon #1, therefore its energy is
E₂ = 2E₁ = (hc)/λ₂.
Therefore
[tex]\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}}= \frac{(hc)/\lambda_{2}}{(hc)/60 \, nm} =2\\ \frac{60}{\lambda_{2}} =2 \\ \lambda_{2} = \frac{60}{2} =30 \, nm[/tex]
30 nm
For this equation you need to use the equation [tex]E=h\frac{c}{λ}[/tex]
E is your Energy, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light and λ is wavelength
First re-arrange the equation to get λ by itself since that's what we are calculating
λ = h (c/E) plug in numbers
λ = 6.626 x10^-34Js [(2.998 x 10^8m/s)/1.257 x10^-24J)] evaluate
λ = 6.626 x10^-34 (2.385 x10^32)
λ ≈ 0.158 m
The frequency of the [tex]\lambda_2 = 622 nm = 622 \cdot 10^{-9} m[/tex] wavelength photon is given by
[tex]f_2 = \frac{c}{\lambda_2}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{622 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.82 \cdot 10^{14} Hz[/tex]
where c is the speed of light.
The energy of this photon is
[tex]E_2=hf_2 = (6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(4.82 \cdot 10^{14}Hz)=3.18 \cdot 10^{-19} J[/tex]
where h is the Planck constant.
The energy of the first photon is twice that of the second photon, so
[tex]E_1 = 2 E_2 = 2 \cdot 3.18 \cdot 10^{-19}J =6.36 \cdot 10^{-19} J[/tex]
And so now by using again the relationship betwen energy and frequency, we can find the frequency of the first photon:
[tex]f_1 = \frac{E_1}{h}= \frac{6.36 \cdot 10^{-19} J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js}=9.64 \cdot 10^{14}Hz[/tex]
and its wavelength is
[tex]\lambda_1 = \frac{c}{f_1}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{9.64 \cdot 10^{14}Hz} =3.11 \cdot 10^{-7}m = 311 nm[/tex]
So, we see that the wavelength of the first photon is exactly half of the wavelength of the second photon (622 nm).
The wavelength of a photon of energy 5.518 × 10-26 joules is 3.6 m. The energy of the photon is: E = h * f, where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency. The frequency of the photon is: f = c/λ, where c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength. Therefore: E = h * f = h * c / λ. We have that E = 5.518 × 10^-26 J; h = 6.626 × 10^-34 Js; c = 2.998 × 10^8 m/s. Substitute this in the formula for the energy of the photon: 5.518 × 10^-26 J = 6.626 × 10^-34 Js * 2.998 × 10^8 m/s / λ. 5.518 × 10^-26 J = 1.986 × 10^-25 Jm / λ. λ = 1.986 × 10^-25 Jm / 5.518 × 10^-26 J. λ = 0.36 × 10 m = 3.6 m.
