What is the energy of a photon of blue light with a wavelength of 460 nm?

Physics
1 answer:
kaheart [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: E=4.321(10)^{-19} J

Explanation:

The energy E of a photon is given by:

E=h\nu (1)

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

\nu is the frequency light

On the other hand, there is an inverse relationship between \nu  and the wavelength \lambda:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda} (2)

Where:

c=3(10)^{8} m/s is the speed of light

\lambda=460 nm=460(10)^{-9}m is the wavelength

Substituting (2) in (1):

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda} (3)

E=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s})(3(10)^{8} m/s)}{460(10)^{-9}m}

Finally:

E=4.321(10)^{-19} J This is the energy of a photon of blue light, in Joules.

Based on the following equation, answer the questions below. ρ = (2γϕ + ψ)/rg where ρ [=] moles per cubic foot [mol/ft3] γ [=] j
AlekseyPX

1) Fundamental units of \Psi are [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]

2) Fundamental units of \Phi are [\frac{mol}{m^3}]

Explanation:

The equation for the variable \rho is

\rho =\frac{2\gamma \Phi+\Psi}{rg}

where we have:

\rho measured in [\frac{mol}{ft^3}]

\gamma measured in [\frac{J}{kg}]

r measured in [in]

g measured in [\frac{m}{s^2}]

We can re-write the equation as

\rho rg = 2\gamma \Phi + \Psi

And we notice that the units of the term on the left must be equal to the units of the term on the right.

This means that:

1) First of all, \Psi must have the same units of \rho r g. So,

[\rho r g]=[\frac{mol}{ft^3}][in][\frac{m}{s^2}]

However, both ft (feet) and in (inches) are not fundamental dimensions: this means that they can be expressed as meters. Therefore, the fundamental units of \Psi are

[\Psi]=[\frac{mol}{m^3}][m][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]

2)

The term 2\gamma \Phi must have the same units of \Psi in order to be added to it. Therefore,

[\gamma \Phi] = [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]

We also know that the units of \gamma are [\frac{J}{kg}], therefore

[\frac{J}{kg}][\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]

And so, the fundamental units of \Phi are

[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{J\cdot m\cdot s^2}]

However, the Joules can be written as

[J]=[kg][\frac{m^2}{s^2}]

Therefore

[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{(kg \frac{m^2}{s^2})\cdot m\cdot s^2}]=[\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m^3}]
