The dissociation energy of a molecule is the energy required to break the molecule apart into its separate atoms. The dissociation energy for the cyanogen molecule is 1.22 × 10-18 J. Suppose that this energy is provided by a single photon. Determine the (a) wavelength and (b) frequency of the photon. (c) In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum (see Figure 24.9) does this photon lie?
