Determine the energy and wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 3.6X 1016 hertz Would this be a wave of interest to nuclear medicine?

assuming the wave is electromagnetic... the energy of a single photon of that frequency is given by the formula E=hf where E= energy of the photon h=the Planck constant f= the frequency of the photon From this the energy of the photon is the Planck constant (6.63 x10-34) multiplied by the frequency 3.6x1016 Hz. E= 23.9x10-18 Joules. The wavelength of any wave is determined by the equation wave speed = frequency x wavelength. thus, the wavelength is the wave speed divided by the frequency. since all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light then... wavelength = 3x108 / 3.6x1016 wavelength = 0.83x10-8 = 8.3x10-9 metres. The electromagnetic radiation corresponding to this energy and wavelength is ultraviolet radiation and may be of interest to nuclear medicine.


What happens to a wavelength if no energy is supplied to it?

without energy there cannot be a wavelength.


What does the wavelength of an EM wave tell about its energy?

The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.


How are the energy and wavelength radiation related?

Energy and wavelength are related by Planck's Energy formula E = hf = hc/w where w is the wavelength.


How does the energy associated with waves change wavelength changes?

a shorter wavelength means lower energy. A shorter wavelength means high energy


What does a wavelength carry?

A wavelength carry energy. Strictly speaking, a wave carries energy. A wavelength is a property of a wave.


What does the wavelength of an em tell about it's energy?

As the wavelength decreases, the energy increases.


When wavelength increases frequency and energy do what?

Frequency and energy decrease as wavelength increases.


How are energy and wavelength of electromagnet radiation related?

The greater the energy the shorter the wavelength.


What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?

If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.


Photon energy and frequency increases as the wavelength of light?

The energy increases as the frequency increases.The frequency decreases as the wavelength increases.So, the energy decreases as the wavelength increases.


How is wavelength of an EM wave related to its energy?

The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
