5. In the process of photosynthesis, in order to produce glucose, a plant absorbs electromagnetic radiation in a certain range of wavelengths, with a maximum of 430 nm and one of 662 nm. Calculate the frequency in which the absorbed light is oscillating at 662 nm. Show all calculations with units.

The light used by vascular plants for photosynthesis has a wavelength of about 700 nm. Calculate the total amount of light energy needed to synthesize 1 mol of glucose from CO2 in the chloroplast of a green plant. Compare this to the total amount of energy available from the complete oxidation of glucose to CO2 in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of a green plant.
