The equation that relates both energy and wavelength is:

$e=\frac{h*c}{lambda}$

where e is the energy and lambda is the wavelength.

Therefore, as we can see from this equation, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is inversely related to the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave.

The wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

1. hydrogen - H

2. helium - He

3. sodium - Na

4. magnesium - Mg

5. potassium - K

Explanation:

Hydrogen is the element of group 1 and first period. The atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and the symbol of the element is H.

The electronic configuration of the element hydrogen is:-

$1s^1$

Helium is the element of group 18 and first period. The atomic number of helium is 2 and the symbol of the element is He.

The electronic configuration of the element helium is:-

$1s^2$

Sodium is the element of group 1 and third period. The atomic number of sodium is 11 and the symbol of the element is Na.

The electronic configuration of the element sodium is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^1$

Magnesium is the element of group 2 and third period. The atomic number of magnesium is 12 and the symbol of the element is Mg.

The electronic configuration of the element magnesium is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

Potassium is the element of group 1 and forth period. The atomic number of potassium is 19 and the symbol of the element is K.

The electronic configuration of the element potassium is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1$

What makes a substance pure?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: When a substance is pure, it is composed of one type of molecule. For example, table salt is only composed of (more or less) salt molecules, while seawater has water and salt molecules. A more complicated example of a non - pure substance is soil. It has many different types of nutrients and compounds.
