There is a simple relationship between the energy for a photon of light Ephoton in units of eV (electron volts) and its waveleng

th λ in nm (nanometers) given by: Ephoton (eV) = (1240 eV nm) / (λ nm). For example, if light has a wavelength of 620 nm, then its energy Ephoton = (1240 eV nm) / (620 nm) = 2 eV. Visible light has photon energies of ~1.7 to 3 eV and wavelengths of ~400 to 750 nm (λBLUE = 475 nm, λGREEN = 510 nm, λYELLOW = 570 nm, and λRED = 650 nm).
What is the wavelength λ in nm for light with a photon energy Ephoton = 2 eV?


What is the photon energy for light with a wavelength λ = 630 nm?

In the electromagnetic spectrum, x-rays have much higher photon energies (~100 to 100,000 eV) and shorter wavelengths (~0.01 to 10 nm) than visible light. What is the photon energy for an x-ray with a wavelength λ = 6 nm?

Answer:

\lambda=620\ nm

E_p=1.9682\ eV

E_p=206.67\ eV is the photon energy of an x-ray

Explanation:

Given:

Energy of photon, E_p=2\ eV

Then according to given:

E_p=\frac{1240}{\lambda}

2=\frac{1240}{\lambda}

\lambda=620\ nm is the wavelength

Again,

Energy of photon, E_p=?

wavelength of the light, \lambda=630\ nm

E_p=\frac{1240}{630}

E_p=1.9682\ eV

<u>Now, photon energy for an x-ray:</u>

wavelength, \lambda=6\ nm

E_p=\frac{1240}{6}

E_p=206.67\ eV is the photon energy of an x-ray

A hiker walked a hiking trail according to the chart below. What is a possible explanation of the hiker's movement?
joja [24]
<span>a.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest  stage


b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage


c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage


d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.
