Calculations for Wavelength

[Samantha Toscano 2C]

I'm solving some of the homework problems, but my answers are a little off from the one given in the odd-number answer key. For example, I get 344 nm instead of 340 nm, even though I'm doing the question properly. Is this alright, since my answer is very close?

It should be okay considering the midterm is multiple choice however make sure you pay attention to sig figs.

reminder: take the value with the lowest amount of sig figs as reference to how many sig figs you should have in your solution.

I would also go back and make sure you're not rounding off too early. For the midterm, since it is just multiple choice questions, you should be fine if your answers are close enough. But I would still make sure that you can reach the exact answer, as sometimes rounding errors can lead to significant discrepancies when working with large values.

Thank you! So in that case, would it be that when I use plank's constant, I use 6.63 instead of 6.626 ?

Just a note on sig figs...we are supposed to know them but they won't show up on the midterm I believe.
