Which is the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?

1 answer:

8 0

The energy of a photon is given by
$E=hf$
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the light.

From this formula, we see that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy, and viceversa.

Now let's have a look at the frequencies of the different colors of visible light. Violet is the color with higher frequency, while red is the color with lower frequency. This means that violet photons have the greatest energy, while red photons have the least amount of energy. So, correct answer is

<span>C. Red photons have the least amount of energy.</span>

Recall from Chapter 1 that a watt is a unit of en- ergy per unit time, and one watt (W) is equal to one joule per second ( J·s–1

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation $E_p=h f$ , where h is the <em>Planck constant</em> and f the frequency of the photon. Thus, N photons of frequency f will give an energy of $E_N=N h f$ .

We also know that frequency and wavelength are related by $f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ , so we have $E_N=\frac{N h c}{\lambda}$ , where c is the <em>speed of light</em>.

We will want the number of photons, so we can write

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}$

We need to know then how much energy do we have to calculate N. The equation of power is $P=E/t$ , so for the power we have and considering 1 second we can calculate the total energy, and then only consider the 4% of it which will produce light, or better said, the N photons, which means it will be $E_N$ .

Putting this paragraph in equations:

$E_N=(\frac{4}{100})E=0.04Pt=(0.04)(100W)(1s)=4J$ .

And then we can substitute everything in our equation for number of photons, in S.I. and getting the values of constants from tables:

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}=\frac{(520 \times10^{-9}m) (4J)}{(6.626\times10^{-34}Js) (299792458m/s)}=1.047 \times10^{19}$

How long does it take for light to travel from the sun to earth?

Eddi Din [679]

It's about 6 minutes, as I seem to recall. Sort of the time for the earth to go into shadow darkness when there's an eclipse ???

In a heat engine if 1000 j of heat enters the system the piston does 500 j of work, what is the final internal energy of the sys

nydimaria [60]

Answer : The final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J

Solution :

(1) The equation used is,

$\Delta U=q+w\\\\U_{final}-U_{initial}=q+w$

where,

$U_{final}$ = final internal energy

$U_{initial}$ = initial internal energy

q = heat energy

w = work done

(2) The known variables are, q, w and $U_{initial}$

initial internal energy = $U_{initial}$ = 2000 J

heat energy = q = 1000 J

work done = w = 500 J

(3) Now plug the numbers into the equation, we get

$U_{final}-(2000J)=(1000J)+(500J)$

(4) By solving the terms, we get

$U_{final}-(2000J)=(1000J)+(500J)$

$U_{final}-(2000J)=1500J$

$U_{final}=2000J+1500J$

$U_{final}=3500J$

(5) Therefore, the final energy of the system if the initial energy was 2000 J is, 3500 J

Who created the theory of general relativity?

pantera1 [17]

Who created the theory of general relativity?:

The answer would be: Albert Einstein.

Albert Einstein developed the general relativity theory (gravitation).

The year he developed the general relativity theory or (GR) was back in 1907 and 1915. Then many other contributions after 1915.

Thanks,
