The conversion of violet radiation (800 nm) into X-ray radiation (32nm) was reported in 1998. What is the minimum number of violet photons needed to form one of the x-ray photon?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Use \(E = h\nu\) to find the energy of a photon of the respective wavelengths (you'll have to convert from wavelength to frequency). You'll need quite a few violet photons to knock an x-ray photo free!
