    An electromagnetic radiation has an energy 14.4 eV. To which region of electromagnetic spectrum does it belong?

    A)  Ultraviolet region           

    B)  Visible region

    C)  X-ray region                     

    D)  y-ray region

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     From Plancks law, the energy is \[E=hv\] where v is frequency and h the Plancks constant. Also, \[1\,eV=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[\therefore \]  \[v=\frac{E}{h}=\frac{14.4\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}}\]                 \[=3.4\times {{10}^{15}}Hz\]       The range of frequency of ultraviolet rays varies from\[5\times {{10}^{7}}Hz\]to\[7\times {{10}^{14}}Hz\]. Hence, the given region belongs to ultraviolet region of electromagnetic spectrum.
