A photon is just one particle, having necessarily just one wavelength; it cannot produce a rainbow, which requires a whole range of wavelengths. The narrow bar effect is the result of the instrument used to measure a photon, which has a narrow slit through which the photon passes.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between ultraviolet and infrared lights?
Wavelength, frequency, and energy carried by each photon (light quantum).
After the first photon of lights are produced which process is responsible for amplification of light?
The process responsible for amplification of light after the first photon is produced is called stimulated emission. This process involves the emission of a second photon that has the same wavelength, phase, and direction as the original photon. This leads to a cascade effect where more photons are produced, resulting in amplification of light.
Who named the photon?
Max Planck came up with the idea of a photon of energy, suggesting that instead of waves, each photon had a discrete amount, or a quantum hence the foundation of quantum mechanics. I assume it was him who gave it the name.
What is photon deficient mean?
Photon deficiency refers to a situation where a system or environment lacks an adequate amount of light energy in the form of photons. This can affect various processes such as plant growth, photosynthesis, and overall ecosystem health. In the context of photon deficiency, providing additional light sources such as grow lights can help mitigate the issue.
What are some advantages of using a Photon light?
Photon light can be an advantage because it is very bright. Many small flashlights are LED based with a photon light making it a lot easier to see in the dark. A LED based flashlight would come in handy for people who are stranded somewhere late at night. The light would shine further and brighter.
How is frequency related to the energy of the colors of lights?
The energy of a single photon is directly proportional to its frequency.Specifically, E=hf, where h is the Planck constant.
How can an atom of size 1angstrom can absorb a photon of 5000 wavelength?
I presume you asking, "How can an atom of size about 1 angstrom absorb a photon whose wavelength is 5000 angstroms? Wouldn't the photon be too large for that atom?" The paradox is resolved in this way: the instant you start to discuss electro-magnetic radiation as a photon instead of a transverse electro-magnetic wave, then you negate the wave-length aspect of the light. Instead, you view light as a collection of photons -- particles whose "size" (if that word has meaning) is point-like -- with a specific energy instead of specific wavelength. A photon is NOT a snake-like wave, vibrating like a rubber band, with a length at least that of its wave-length, as it moves through a medium. A photon is a point particle with a specific energy. You can describe light as a EM wave with a wave-length OR as a collection of point particles. You can NOT do both at the same time. Light exhibits the characteristics of one OR the other, but NEVER both.
Why does a light photon have a waveform?
Because if you fire several photons through two narrow spaces close to each other and you see where they land you'll see interference patterns just like if it were sound or other waves going through two narrow spaces.
The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
What is the duration of a photon?
A photon, being a particle of light, does not have a defined duration in the conventional sense because it is not bound by time in the way matter is. Instead, a photon exists as a quantum of electromagnetic radiation, traveling at the speed of light until it interacts with matter or is absorbed. Its existence is often described in terms of its wavelength, frequency, and energy rather than a specific duration. Therefore, a photon can be considered to exist indefinitely until it interacts with other particles.
Which is more energetic a red photon or a blue photon?
The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
What is the opposite of a photon?
The opposite of a photon is an antiphoton.
