Interpretation: From the given set of species the species that gets dissociated by absorbing energy that equals wavelength in visible region should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Visible Range: The
UV Range: The electromagnetic radiation which range is about 100 nm to 400nm is regarded as ultraviolet region and they are shorter than the visible region.
Bond Enthalpy: The energy required in order to form the bond between the two atoms is called bond enthalpy.
Energy: The energy is conversed property since it can neither be created nor be destroyed but can be transformed. The energy of the photon is obtained by using the following relation
Wavelength: The distance between the two continuous maximum displacements present in wave or the two continuous minimum displacements present in a wave exhibited by the photons is called wavelength. The wavelength of the photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The relationship between them is given by the following formula,
Frequency: It denotes the number of waves passes in given amount of time.
