Sodium’s two bright lines have wavelengths of 588.9590 nm and 589.9524 nm, and in order to find their energy we need to use the given relationships expressed in the following equations:

Ephoton=h×ν,c=λ×νEphoton=h×cλE_{photon} = h\times \nu , c= \lambda \times \nu \Rightarrow E_{photon}=\dfrac{h\times c}{\lambda}

Notes:

588.9590 nm 588.9590109 m,589.9524nm589.9524109 m\Rightarrow 588.9590\cdot10^{-9} \ \text{m} , 589.9524 nm \Rightarrow 589.9524\cdot10^{-9} \ \text{m}

h: Plank's constant , c: speed of light in vacuum.

First line: Ephoton=3.00108 m.s1×6.6261034 J.s588.9590109 m=3.381019 JE_{photon} =\dfrac{3.00\cdot10^8 \ \text{m.s}^{-1} \times 6.626\cdot10^{-34} \ \text{J.s}}{588.9590\cdot10^{-9} \ \text{m}} =3.38\cdot10^{-19} \ \text{J}

Second line: Ephoton=3.00108 m.s1×6.6261034 J.s589.9524109 m=3.371019 JE_{photon} =\dfrac{3.00\cdot10^8 \ \text{m.s}^{-1} \times 6.626\cdot10^{-34} \ \text{J.s}}{589.9524\cdot10^{-9} \ \text{m}} =3.37\cdot10^{-19} \ \text{J}
