Calculate UV and IR Photon Energy: 320nm & 5000nm Wavelengths

[Math Is Hard]

A UV photon can break chemical bonds, but an IR photon can only cause vibration in the bonds. Calculate the energy associated with these processes by assuming a wavelength of 320 nm for the UV photon and a wavelength of 5000 nm for the IR photon.

I got...

UV photon: E = 6.22 x 10^-19Joules

IR photon: E = 3.98 x 10^-20Joules

Thanks!

It looks OK.

Thanks, ehild! I wasn't sure I remembered how to do those correctly.
