As we have learnt,

 

The energy (E) of a quantum of radiation -

E=hv

Where h is plank’s constant and \nu is frequency

-

 

 As we know,

\\*\frac{\Delta E}{N_A} = hv \\*v = \frac{\Delta E}{N_A \times h}

    =\frac{495.5\times 10^3}{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}} = 1.24\times 10^{15}s^{-1}

 


Option 1)

 7.50 x 104     s-1   
 

 

Option 2)

 4.76 x 1014    s-1  
 

Option 3)

3.15 x x1015    s-1  
 

Option 4)

1.24 x 1015    s-1
