What will be the output of this code snippet?
from scipy.constants import c, planck
wavelength = 400e-9
energy = planck * c / wavelength
print(round(energy, 2))
A4.97e-22
B4.97e-16
C4.97e-19
D4.97e-17
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify constants and units

    planck is Planck's constant in J·s, c is speed of light in m/s, wavelength is 400 nm = 400e-9 m.
  2. Step 2: Calculate energy

    Energy = planck * c / wavelength ≈ 6.62607015e-34 * 299792458 / 400e-9 ≈ 4.97e-19 J.
  3. Step 3: Round output

    Rounding 4.97e-19 to 2 decimals in scientific notation gives 4.97e-19, which matches 4.97e-19.
  4. Final Answer:

    4.97e-19 -> Option C
  5. Quick Check:

    Energy inversely proportional to wavelength [OK]
Quick Trick: Energy = planck * c / wavelength in joules [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing nanometers with meters
  • Incorrect rounding or unit conversion
  • Mixing up constants or variable names
