Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula that relates the energy of a photon to its wavelength. This formula is derived from Planck's equation, E = h*c/λ, where E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck's constant (6.63 * 10^-34 Js), c is the speed of light (3.00 * 10^8 m/s), and λ is the wavelength.

Given that the energy E of the photon is 1.9 * 10^-19 J, we can rearrange the formula to solve for λ:

λ = h*c/E

Substituting the given values:

λ = (6.63 * 10^-34 Js * 3.00 * 10^8 m/s) / 1.9 * 10^-19 J

Solving this equation gives us the wavelength in meters. To convert to micrometers (μm), we multiply by 10^6 (since 1 m = 10^6 μm).

After performing these calculations, we find that the wavelength at which the photodiode is operating is approximately 1.04 μm. Therefore, the correct answer is (b) 1.04 μm.
