A photon is a sub atomic particle is a single enery packet of light

As it has no mass it can travel at the speed of light (since it is light) and are created when an electron makes a quantum leap inside an atom.

A photon of wavelength 3000 A is absorbed by a gas and remitted as two photons One of the photons is red 7600 A What is the wavelength of the other photon?

The total energy of a photon with a wavelength of 3000 A is divided into two photons, one red photon with a wavelength of 7600 A, and another photon with a shorter wavelength. To calculate the wavelength of the second photon, you can use the conservation of energy principle, where the sum of the energies of the two new photons is equal to the energy of the original photon. This will give you the wavelength of the other photon.


How is the wavenumber related to the energy of a photon?

The wavenumber of a photon is inversely proportional to its energy. This means that as the wavenumber increases, the energy of the photon decreases, and vice versa.


What is the wavelength of the photon that has been released in Part B?

The wavelength of a photon can be calculated using the equation: wavelength = Planck's constant / photon energy. Given the photon energy, you can plug in the values to find the corresponding wavelength.


Which of the following complexes will absorb a photon with the lowest energy level?

The complex with the lowest energy level will absorb a photon.


If an electron is in an excited state it must lose energy when it falls to a lower state. What happens to the energy that is lost?

The energy that is lost when an electron falls to a lower state is emitted as a photon of light. This process is known as photon emission, and the energy of the emitted photon corresponds to the energy difference between the initial and final states of the electron.

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.


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.
