Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 27,500

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} E & =\frac{h c}{\lambda} \\ & =\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{45 \times 10^{-12}} \\ & =\frac{0.44 \times 10^{-14}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\ & =0.275 \times 10^5 \mathrm{eV}\end{aligned}\)
