How many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.862 J at 691 nm?
Inga [223]
To calculate how many photons are in a certain amount of energy (joules) we need to know how much energy is in one photon.
Start by using two equations:
Energy of a photon = Frequency * Planck's constant (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s)
Speed of light (constant 3 * 10^8 m/s) = Frequency * Wavelength
Which means:
frequency = Speed of Light / Wavelength
So energy of a photon = (Speed of light * Planck's constant)/(Wavelength)
You may have seen this equation as E = hc/<span>λ</span>
We have a wavelength of 691 nm or 691 * 10^-9 meters
So we can plug in all of our knowns:
E = (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s) * (3.00 * 10^8 m/s) / (691 * 10^-9 m) = 
2.88 * 10^(-19) joules per photon
Now we have joules per photon, and the total number of joules (0.862 joules)
,so divide joules by joules per photon, and we have the number of photons:
0.862 J/ (2.88 * 10^(-19) J/photon) = 3.00 * 10^18 photons.

What are the very small particles that make up all matter?
nadezda [96]
All matter is made up of particles called atoms and molecules (as opposed to being continuous or just including particles). On the following page, the idea is stated as one of four concepts in Dalton's theory: “All matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms” (p. 158s).

A selectively permeable membrane separates solution a and
Yakvenalex [24]
The water molecules will flow from b to a due to osmosis.

Osmosis is where water molecules will flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, through a selectively permeable membrane.

When the water molecule concentration is higher, it has a higher water potential top. Water potential is the tendency for them to flow to a lower region.

The net movement will stop until both sides of the solution has a same water potential.
