Question
Calculate the absorption energy observed at 8.5 x 10 ^ -3 cm ^ -1 (h = 6.62 x 10 ^ -34 J.s, c = 3 x 10 ^ 10 cm / s) E = hu; c = lu. Pleas Show your work in detail if h = 6.62 x 10 ^ -34 J.s and c = 3.0 x 10 ^ 10 cm / sec.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that the wave number is 8.5×10-3 cm-1.

1λ=8.5×10-3cm-1ν=cλν=cλ¯ν=3×1010cm/s×8.5×10-3cm-1ν=2.6×108s-1
