A laser pulse with wavelength 520 nm contains 4.40 mj of energy. how many photons are in the laser pulse?

Vilka [71]3 years ago
3 0
Given:
λ = 520 nm = 520 x 10⁻⁹ m, the wavelength
E = 4.4 mJ = 4.4 x 10⁻³ J, energy per packet or pulse

The Planck-Einstein equation is
E = (hc)/λ
where
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s, the velocity of light

The energy per photon is
e = fh
where 
f = c/λ = 3 x 10⁸/520 x 10⁻⁹ = 5.7692 x 10¹⁴ 1/s

The number of photons is
E/e = c/(fλ)
      = (3 x 10⁸)/[(5.7692 x 10¹⁴)*(520 x 10⁻⁹)]
      = 1

Answer:  1

What happens to the moleclues within a gas when the gas Condeenses
motikmotik
Condensation happens when molecules in a gas cool down. As the molecules lose heat, they lose energy and slow down. They move closer to other gas molecules. Finally these molecules collect together to form a liquid. Hope it helps

Jack tries to place magnets on his refrigerator at home, but they won’t stick. What could be the reason?
saul85 [17]
The most probable reason why the magnets won't stick on the refrigerator is that the body of the refrigerator and the magnets have like poles. If both have negative or both have positive poles facing each other, they will repel. In principle, magnets are attracted to opposite poles and like poles repel.
