Capillarity "Capillarity causes the part of the surface of a liquid in contact with a solid, to be either elevated above (e.g. water), or depressed below (e.g. mercury), the rest of the surface. This trait is named for the behaviour of liquids in capillary tubes placed perpendicular to the surface. The forces operating within capillarity are cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension."

Find the wavelength of a photon which has 500.0 eV of energy.
jekas [21]

Answer:

2.5 x 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

E = Energy of photon = 500 eV = 500 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

c = speed of photon = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of photon = ?

Energy of photon is given as

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda }

inserting the values

500\times 1.6\times 10^{-19} = \frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34})(3\times 10^{8})}{\lambda }

λ = 2.5 x 10⁻⁹ m
