CHAPTER 2 Theory of Solids This value of energy may be given in the more common unit of electron-volts see Appendix D . The electron-volt ev is the unit of energy equal to 1.6×10-19J.We can then write Comment The reciprocal relation between photon energy and wavelength is demonstrated:a large energy corresponds to a short wavelength. Exercise Problem EX2.1 Determine the energy in eV of a photon having wavelengths of a and b . 2.1.2 wave- particle Duality principle We have seen in the previous paragraphs that light waves,in the photoelectric effect,behave as if they are particles.In 1924
