Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Energy of a photon is given by

E=h\nu\\\Rightarrow E=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}

Let \lambda_1 = 700 nm

\lambda_2=350\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}

For red light

E_1=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}

For UV light

E_2=\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=2E_1

Hence, the answer is  b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength of red light, \lambda_r=7\times 10^{-7}\ m

wavelength of ultraviolet light, \lambda_{uv}=3.5\times 10^{-7}\ m

We know that the energy of a photon is given as:

E=h.\nu ..............(1)

where:

h = plank's constant =6.626\times 10^{-34}\ J.s

\nu=  frequency of the wave

we have the relation:

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

From (1) and (2) we have:

E=\frac{h.c}{\lambda}

<u>Energy of photons for ultraviolet light:</u>

E_{uv}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.5\times 10^{-7}}

E_{uv}=5.6794\times 10^{-19}\ J

Since the energy of photons is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light hence the photon-energy of ultraviolet light is double of the photon-energy of the red light as the wavelength of the red light is twice to that of ultraviolet light.

(1) <span>Electric current is defined as the rate of </span>charge<span> flow past a given point in an electric circuit. It is measured in Coulombs/second, also called Amperes. In </span>DC electric circuits<span>, it can be assumed that the </span>resistance<span> to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to </span>voltage<span> and resistance by </span>Ohm's law, which is:
<span>
V = I*R
Where V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance

(2) The answer is attached in image form down below(please find attachment)

(4) <span>Renewable energy is the energy which is generated from the natural sources i.e. sun, tides, wind etc. Examples are: Solar Energy, Wind energy( windmill) etc. for electricity generation.
Advantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is available in abundant quantity.
2) It is free to use.
3) It has </span><span>low carbon emissions, therefore it is considered as green and environment friendly.
Disadvantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is not easy to setup plants and machinery for renewable energy.
2) Initial costs for setting up those plants and machinery is quite high.
3) The energy from the natural sources is not available 24/7. In Solar energy case, energy </span><span>can be used during the day time and not during night or rainy season etc.
</span>
Non-Renewable energy is energy which is taken from the sources that are available on the earth in limited quantity. Sources may be <span>fossil fuels, natural gas, oil and coal etc.
</span><span>Advantages of Non-Renewable Energy Sources:
1) They are easy to use.
2) They are cheap.

Disadvantages:
</span>1) They will expire some day (as they are limited).
2) The speed at which such resources are being used can have serious environmental changes.
3) They release toxic gases in the air when burnt which are the major cause for global warming.
<span>4) Since these sources are going to expire soon, prices of these sources are proliferating day by day.

Now you should judge all by yourself which is the better energy source.
