Living organisms use atoms from sugar molecules combined with other elements to form lipids and nucleic acids. Lipids are hydrophobic organic compounds composed of carbon and a high ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. Nucleic acids are an acidic polymer of nucleotides found or produced in the cell nucleus.
If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon. The carbon displaces the metal from the compound, and removes the oxygen from the oxide. This leaves the metal.
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Wavelength of photon = 827nm = 827 x 10⁻⁹m
Unknown:
Energy of the photon = ?
Type of radiation = ?
Solution:
The energy of a photon can be derived using the expression below:
E =
h is the Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴m²kg/s
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸m/s
Insert the parameters and solve;
E =
E = 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁹J
Type of radiation:
Near infrared radiation
