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

Physics

Andrew [12]3 years ago

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 you start with a substance as a solid, what will happen to the molecules as you add thermal energy (heat)?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added

Explanation:

The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.

  • Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
  • As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
  • They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
  • Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
  • Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
  • This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas
