Th energy associated with the absorption of a photon of wavelength 15.00 micrometers is _________J.

Energy= Plancksconstant*frequency=
=plancksconstant*speed of light/wavelength.

wavelength= 15*10^-6 meters
speed of light= 3*10^8 meters/second
Plancks constant...look it up.

I will be happy to critique your thinking.

is this the answer? after the ________ is a J-what is the J for?

J is the Metric symbol for joules.

To find the energy associated with the absorption of a photon of a specific wavelength, you can use the formula:

Energy = Planck's constant * speed of light / wavelength

Given that the wavelength is 15.00 micrometers, we need to convert it to meters. Since 1 meter is equal to 1,000,000 micrometers, the wavelength in meters becomes:

wavelength = 15.00 * 10^-6 meters

The speed of light is approximately 3 * 10^8 meters/second, and Planck's constant is a physical constant with a value of 6.626 x 10^-34 J·s (joule-seconds).

Therefore, the energy can be calculated as:

Energy = (6.626 x 10^-34 J·s) * (3 x 10^8 meters/second) / (15.00 x 10^-6 meters)

By performing this calculation, you will obtain the energy associated with the absorption of a photon with a wavelength of 15.00 micrometers in joules.

The "J" represents joules, which is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI).
