Answer:

λ = 0.002 nm

The given photon is either x-ray or gamma ray because the range of x-ray and gamma ray is 1 nm-0.1 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Energy of photon = 1.10 × 10⁻¹³ J.

Wavelength of photon = ?

Solution:

Formula:

E = h.c / λ

λ = h. c / E

λ = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ j. s × 3×10⁸ m/s / 1.10 × 10⁻¹³ J.

λ = 19.878 × 10⁻²⁶m / 1.10 × 10⁻¹³ J

λ = 18.071 × 10⁻¹³ m

λ = 18.071 × 10⁻¹³ × 10⁹

λ = 18.071 × 10⁻⁴ nm

λ = 0.002 nm

The given photon is either x-ray or gamma ray because the range of x-ray and gamma ray is 1 nm-0.1 pm.
