How do you calculate the number of photons that corresponds to 600 nm of light?

∙ 15y ago
λ - wavelength (NM) c - speed of light (3x108 m/s)= 162 000 nm
f - Frequency (Hz)
λ = c \ f
600=162 000 nm\ f f=270 Hz

∙ 10y agoThere can be as little as one if it has the right energy for that wavelength, number of photons has nothing to do with wavelength. The number of photons only determines the intensity/brightness.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYou don't, as the wavelength is totally independent of the number of photons. You could have one or a trillion different photons, each of 600nm.

∙ 10y agoi got 3.3*10^-19... im not positive. so if you need anthing to check your work on... that is my solution

Light is made of elementary particles called what?
Well, they're probably not really particles ... but they're called "photons".
Are electrons moving through space called light?
Electrons are very small, and have very small mass, but they are not visible light (photons).
Why can light be treated like a particle?
Light comes in chunks of energy called photons.
Which color will have the longest wavelength which corresponds to the lowest energy?
Red
What makes metal shiny?
Light causes electrons to emit from metals which makes them appear shiny. I think that is not a clear answer. Remember that from Drude theory the free electrons are responsible for electric conduction as well as thermal condution. Also the free electrons proposed by Drude theory are responsible for shinying. When the light photon fall on the metals, the free electrons reflects the photon light into the space before that photon penetrating deeper to the materials. This why we see metals are bright.
Light intensity is?
Light is composed of quanta called photons. The more photons, the greater the intensity. To see the slightest flicker of green light (the color to which our eyes are most sensitive), the minimum number of photons is six.
What do light sensors do?
Light sensors measure the number of photons or the energy of light hitting the sensor.
Light is a wave that carries energy a light source emits a countless number of?
photons
Do fire flames make photons?
Photons are pieces of light. If you see a light, then there are photons.
How is intensity of light related to photons?
Increasing the intensity of light will increase the number of photons arriving per second. Increasing intensity has no effect on photon energy.
What do light sensors measures?
Light sensors measure the number of photons or the energy of light hitting the sensor.
If the light bulb from number 10 radiates 100 watts times 100 joules per second of photons. How many photons per second are radiated?
Given the wavelength of the photons from above, 3000 nm you just calculate how many joules each photon has and divide that into 100 joules per second.
Particles of light are called what?
Light particles are called Photons.
How do you calculate the mass of light?
light has zero mass. Photons have zero mass. So according to e=mc2 light must also have zero energy. Astonishing how all these photons reach us from all the way across the universe! But all physical things have mass
When comparing a beam of red light and a beam of green light which beam contains the greater number of photons?
Neither. The beams of red light and green light will have the same number of Photons, as energy is only related to frequency. The number of Photons is dependent on the intensity of the light beams.
Can you see photons?
Yes. Photons are what light consists of.
What does light contain?
Light contains energy in the form of the photons of electromagnetic radiation
