Question

The reaction between H2 and Br2 to form HBr in presence of light is initiated by the photo decomposition of Br2 into free Br atoms (free radicals) by absorption of light. The wavelength of Br2 is:

Solution

The correct option is A 10˚A
Energy E and wavelength λ can be related mathematically by the relation:

E=hcλ

Where h= Planck's constant and c= speed of light.

Using h=4.1357×1015 eV s and

c=3×108 m/s = 3×1018 ˚A/s

Therefore, λ=hcE=4.1357×1015×3×10181240

λ=10 ˚A

Option A is the correct answer.
