What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?

Physics

Answer:

It is an inverse relationship

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by

e = hc/λ

Where e= energy of the photon, where c =velocity of light, h=Planck's constant and λ =wavelength of light

In this formula the energy is the numerator and the wavelength is the denominator. It can be written as

e= 1/λ .

This means for every increase in energy of photon there will be a decrease in wavelength and for every decrease in energy of the photon there will be an increase in the wavelength.

Answer:

The quantity of energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

Explanation:

Energy of light is given as

E = hf

where E = energy of the photons,

f = frequency of the light

If the number of photons = n

(E/n) = (h/n) f

Let (E/n) = E'

(h/n) = h'

But the frequency of light is related to wavelength through the relation

v = fλ

where v = speed of light = c

λ = wavelength of light

f = (c/λ)

E' = h' f

Substituting for f

E' = h' (c/λ)

h' and c are both constants, h'×c = K

E' = (K/λ)

So, the quantity of energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

Hope this Helps!!!

If an astronaut had a mass of 30 kg on the moon what would his mass be on earth?
Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

A one-kilogram mass is still a one-kilogram(as mass is an intrinsic property of the object) but the downward force due to gravity, and therefore it's weight, is only one-sixth of what the object would have on the Earth. So man of mass 180 pounds weights only about 30 pounds-force when visiting the moon

hope it help..... pls add me as brainlist.

Have a nice day

The Rigidbody component adds collision to a GameObject
kifflom [539]

Rigidbodies are components that allow a GameObject<u> to react to real-time physics. </u>

Explanation:

  • Rigidbodies are components that allow a GameObject to react to real-time physics. This includes reactions to forces and gravity, mass, drag and momentum. You can attach a Rigidbody to your GameObject by simply clicking on Add Component and typing in Rigidbody2D in the search field.
  • A rigidbody is a property, which, when added to any object, allows it to interact with a lot of fundamental physics behaviour, like forces and acceleration. You use rigidbodies on anything that you want to have mass in your game.
  • You can indeed have a collider with no rigidbody. If there's no rigidbody then Unity assumes the object is static, non-moving.
  • If you had a game with only two objects in it, and both move kinematically, in theory you would only need a rigidbody on one of them, even though they both move.
