The answer is CH₃O₆


An empirical formula is the simplest ratio. So, let's simplify the ratio

14 : 42 : 84

All numbers are divisible by 14, therefore:

14 : 42 : 84 = (14/14) : (42/14) : (84:14) = 1 : 3 : 6

So, it contains 1 C-atom, 3 H-atoms, and 6 O-atoms

How many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.497 J at 469 nm?
dimulka [17.4K]
<span>E=hν</span> where E is the energy of a single photon, and ν is the frequency of a single photon. We recall that a photon traveling at the speed of light c and a frequency ν will have a wavelength λ given by <span>λ=<span>cν</span></span>λ will have an energy given by <span>E=<span><span>hc</span>λ</span></span><span>λ=657</span> nm. This will be <span>E=<span><span>(6.626×<span>10<span>−34</span></span>)(2.998×<span>108</span>)</span><span>(657×<span>10<span>−9</span></span>)</span></span>=3.0235×<span>10<span>−19</span></span>J</span> So we now know the energy of one photon of wavelength 657 nm. To find out how many photons are in a laser pulse of 0.363 Joules, we simply divide the pulse energy by the photon energy or <span>N=<span><span>E<span>pulse </span></span><span>E<span>photon</span></span></span>=<span>0.363<span>3.0235×<span>10<span>−19</span></span></span></span>=1.2×<span>1018</span></span>So there would be <span>1.2×<span>1018</span></span><span> photons of wavelength 657 nm in a pulse of laser light of energy 0.363 Joules.</span>
