The line spectrum of lithium has a red line at 670.8 nm. Calculate the energy of a photon with this wavelength.

Physics

Vadim26 [7]3 years ago

First of all, we can calculate the frequency of the photon, which is related to the wavelength by the following equation:
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}
where c is the speed of light and \lambda=670.8 nm=670.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m is the photon wavelength. Substituting into the formula, we find the frequency
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{670.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.47 \cdot 10^{14} Hz

Now we can find the energy of the photon with the following equation:
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant. Substituting numbers, we find
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(4.47 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=2.95 \cdot 10^{-19} J

I'm assuming the question is time it will take for ball to reach ground, if it is then set equation to zero then use the quadratic formula, the possible t value is your answer then

What adaptation does a wood frog have that enable it to survive in deciduous forest ?
sweet [91]

Wood frogs have this adaptation where they accumulate urea in their bodies and convert their liver glycogen to glucose to act as cryoprotectants. This prevents the formation of ice crystals in their bodies that could cause damage cells during freezing in winter.

Which is an example of current electricity
Reil [10]

Answer:

A or B you choose

Explanation:

This is called current electricity or an electric current. A lightning bolt is one example of an electric current, although it does not last very long. Electric currents are also involved in powering all the electrical appliances that you use, from washing machines to flashlights and from telephones to MP3 players.

what is an electrical current, amp, ampere Current is the flow of electrons. When a circuit is closed then a current of electrons can flow and when a circuit is open then no current can flow. We can measure the flow of electrons just like you can measure the flow of water through a pipe.
