The wavelength of a certain photon is 4.0 μm4.0\,\mu\text{m}. Using c=3.00×108 m s−1c=3.00\times10^{8}\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} and h=6.63×10−34 J sh=6.63\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s}, which of the following pairs correctly gives both the photon's energy and the region of the spectrum in which it falls? (a) 1.3×10−19 J; infrared1.3\times10^{-19}\,\text{J};\ \text{infrared} (b) 5.0×10−20 J; infrared5.0\times10^{-20}\,\text{J};\ \text{infrared} (c) 5.0×10−19 J; visible5.0\times10^{-19}\,\text{J};\ \text{visible} (d) 5.0×10−20 J; microwave5.0\times10^{-20}\,\text{J};\ \text{microwave}
