Carbon absorbs energy at a wavelength of $150 .$ nm. The total amount of energy emitted by a carbon sample is $1.98 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{J} .$ Calculate the number of carbon atoms present in the sample, assuming that each atom emits one photon.
Added by Crystal M.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the energy of one photon using the formula \(E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\), where \(h\) is the Planck constant, \(c\) is the speed of light, and \(\lambda\) is the wavelength given as 150 nm. Show more…
