What else can I help you with?
Can photons collide with each other?
Yes, photons can interact with each other through a process called photon-photon scattering, where they can exchange energy and momentum.
How do you calculate photon flux given v?
Photon flux can be calculated using the formula: photon flux = v * E, where v is the frequency of the photons and E is the energy of each photon. By multiplying the frequency of the photons by the energy of each photon, you can determine the photon flux.
Do photons interact with each other, and if so, how does this interaction occur?
Yes, photons can interact with each other through a process called photon-photon scattering. This occurs when two photons collide and exchange energy and momentum. However, these interactions are very rare in everyday circumstances due to the low probability of photon collisions.
Describe what happens when a positron and an electron collide?
They destroy each other and create a gamma photon.
Why are gamma rays the most penetrating of all electromagnetic rays?
Because at their frequencies, each gamma ray photon has more energy than a photon of any other form of electromagnetic radiation.
Which color of the visible spectrum contain the most energy?
Each photon of blue light has more energy than a photon of any other color, because the blue ones have the highest frequency.
How are engery and frquency of electromagnetic radiation related?
(The energy of each photon) is (the photon's frequency) times (Planck's Konstant). (The total energy in a beam of it) is (the energy of each photon) times (the number of photons in the beam).
If one of a pair of entangled photons is drawn into a black hole than what is the result to the other?
Photons do not become "entangled" with each other any more than waves on water do. They move along independently. If a photon crosses the event horizon of a black hole as that photon follows the curve of spacetime "down" into the black hole, it is probable that a photon moving "with" it will suffer the same fate.
What is the amount of energy for each photon called?
It depends on the wavelength of the photon. Energy of each photon is hc/λ, where h = Planck's constant = 6.626x1034 Js, c = speed of light = 3x108 m/s, and λ = wavelength of the photon
How many cannons are involved in a Royal Salute?
A Royal Salute that is performed at military functions and funerals has 21 guns that fire. If cannons are used it is usually a series of seven cannons that are fired three times each. The common method is to have seven soldiers fire a rifle three times each.
When the light is bluer the each photons contains?
When light is bluer, it means it has a higher frequency. Each photon carries energy, and the energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. Therefore, in bluer light, each photon contains higher energy compared to redder light.
What is the name for each atom of an element with a certain number of electrons?
photon
