Woaaah. I don't know this. I sowwy. :(
k no problem marco :)
@phi
do you know the equation for the energy of a photon? \[ E= \hbar \omega \]
if you can find the wavelength or the frequency, then you can use a table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color
i have a table for the colors just need to know how to find the wavelength since thats all the info i have
i know what the h is so thats good enough lol.....but how do i find the wavelength with just the energy??
\[ \omega= 2\pi \nu \] \(\nu\) is the frequency
yes, you may know h but your equation is wrong it is either \[ E= h \nu \] or \[ E= \hbar \omega\]
oohhh...wait i think i got it \[E=h\times\nu\]\[4.75x10^{-19}=6.626x10^{-34}\times\nu\]\[\nu\approx 7.17x10^{14}\]the you do\[c=\lambda\times\nu\]\[3.00x10^8=\lambda\times7.17x10^{14}\]\[\lambda\approx4.18x10^{-7}\]
yes, that looks good
so then you convert that to nanometers and get\[\lambda\approx418.41~nm\]
and thats Violet
I ROCK T(^.^T)
