About 0.1 ev is required to break a "hydrogen bond" in a protein molecule. calculate the minimum frequency and maximum wavelength of a photon that can accomplish this. minimum frequencyhzmaximum wavelengthm

Frequency: , Wavelength:

Explanation:

The energy of the photon is equal to the energy required to break the bond, so 0.1 eV.

First of all, we need to convert the energy of the photon from eV to Joule:

The energy of the photon is related to its frequency by:

where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency.

Solving for f,

The wavelength instead is given by

where c is the speed of light. Substituting,

real, smaller and upside-down.   so the answer should be b.
