Construct a data table similar to the one below.
Frequency (Hz)
Energy (J)
Energy (eV)
Wavelength (nm)
•
Use helium's spectrum to complete the data table with energy (eV) and wavelength (nm) for the six spectra
lines shown.
18
•
Using the conversion factor (one J = 6.2 x 10
eV), fill in the energy (J) column in the data table.
We also know that the frequency of light is equal to the ratio of the speed of light to the wavelength.
Where:
v = frequency in Hertz (Hz) = (1/sec)
c
v =
c = speed of light (3.0 x 10 17 nm/sec)
= wavelength
•
Use the above equation to complete the Frequency (Hz) column in your data table for spectral lines of helium.
