A Cu2 complex has a maximum absorption at 609 nm Calculate i
A Cu2+ complex has a maximum absorption at 609 nm. Calculate in units of J/ion.
Solution
wavelength = 609 nm
h = planks constant = 6.625 x 10^-34 J.sec
C = light velocity = 3 x 10^8 m/s
E = h C / lambda
= 6.625 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8 / 609 x 10^-9
= 3.26 x 10^-19 J
energy = 3.26 x 10^-19 J/ion
