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!!!

Which of the following quantities is inversely proportional to the gravitational pull between two objects?
Contact [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces
