An atom absorbs a photon of wavelength 500 nm and emits another photon of wavelength 700 nm. Find the net energy absorbed by the atom in the process.
net energy absorbed by atom is equal to the energy of photon absorbed and subtracting the energy of photon it emits.
∴ Energy of photon atom absorbed
