How would you modify this code to calculate the wavelength in nanometers given photon energy in electronvolts?
from scipy.constants import c, planck, electron_volt
energy_ev = 2.5
energy_joule = energy_ev * electron_volt
wavelength = planck * c / energy_joule
print(wavelength)
ANo modification needed; code is correct
BMultiply wavelength by 1e9 to convert meters to nanometers before printing
CMultiply energy_ev by 1e9 before conversion
DDivide wavelength by 1e9 to convert meters to nanometers before printing
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand units of wavelength output

    The calculation yields wavelength in meters.
  2. Step 2: Convert meters to nanometers

    Multiply meters by 1e9 to get nanometers.
  3. Final Answer:

    Multiply wavelength by 1e9 to convert meters to nanometers before printing -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Convert meters to nm by multiplying by 1e9 [OK]
Quick Trick: Meters to nm: multiply by 1e9 [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Dividing instead of multiplying
  • Changing energy units incorrectly
  • No conversion applied
