What else can I help you with?
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.
What flame color emits more photons?
The flame color that emits more photons is typically blue. Blue flames have a higher temperature and more complete combustion, resulting in a greater number of high-energy photons being released. In contrast, yellow or orange flames, which are cooler and often result from incomplete combustion, emit fewer photons overall. Thus, the intensity and energy of the blue flame contribute to its increased photon emission.
Why dont you observe a compton effect with visible light?
Photons propagating at frequencies in the visible light spectrum can knock out electrons from atoms, known as the photoelectric effect, if their energy is greater than the photoelectric work function for that atom. However, at the energies associated with the visible light frequencies, these new photoelectrons will absorb any excess energy of the initial photons and convert it to kinetic energy, meaning that the initial photons vanish. Obviously, if the photons are gone, they can't scatter. Increasing the intensity (brightening) of the photons will cause more electrons to be emitted, but it will not increase their energy since photon energy is a function of its frequency, not quantity.Photons that retain energy after interacting with an electron via the photoelectric effect are said to undergo Compton scattering. Now, despite what everyone says, if a photon has any amount of energy greater than the applicable photoelectric work function, it can theoretically undergo Compton scattering. Yes, I'm implying that visible light can Compton scatter. However, the probability of Compton scattering at these energies is very low, not to mention these scattered photons would most likely loose all of their energy from all of the other various available atomic interactions before they could even escape the sample, which is a necessary component to measurement (something has to exist in order to be measured). Therefore, the effects of Compton scattering are negligible at visible light energies. In fact, they don't really start becoming noticeable until around energies of 100keV, which is around 105 times greater than the energies associated with visible light. These kinds of energies are associated with x-rays.
Which are more energetic photons of UV-A radiation or photons of UV-B radiation?
Photons of UV-B radiation are more energetic than photons of UV-A radiation. UV-B radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels compared to UV-A radiation. UV-B radiation is classified as potentially harmful to human health, while UV-A radiation is less energetic and is more commonly associated with tanning and aging effects on the skin.
Energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called?
The energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called photons. These photons have discrete values of energy, meaning there is exact amounts of energy these have, and don't vary in decimal places.
Are photons conscious?
Photons are particles of light that do not possess consciousness. Consciousness is typically associated with self-awareness, perception, and the ability to experience subjective states, which photons do not have the capacity for.
Is there copper in microwaves?
No, microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiationand like all electromagnetic radiation is composed of massless particles called photons or is waves depending on how it is measured.Copper is a metal.
What is the difference between a hard beam and a soft beam?
A hard beam is one that contains a greater number of high energy photons than low energy photons.A soft beam is one that contains a greater number of low energy photons that high energy photons.During the filtration of a heterogenous beam (one that contains photons with different energies), low energy photons are removed from the beam, effectively "hardening" it.
Consider photons emitted from an ultraviolet lamp and a TV transmitter. Which is the greater wavelength Which is the greater momentum?
Good luck, Greater wavelength=TV. frequency= the number of wave cycles(peak, trough, peak) per time unit. The higher the frequency, the more times the wave cycles, and the shorter the wavelength. Greater Energy=Ultraviolet lamp. By Placks constant, E(energy) =h(planck's constant which is the energy of a photon divided by it's frequency) / f(the frequency of that photon). Planck's constant is almost irrelevant, so the greater the frequency, the greater the energy. Greater frequency=Ultraviolet lamp. Planck's constant and light spectrum. Greater Momentum= Ultraviolet lamp. Electron diffraction, Wavelength=h(planck's constant) / momentum. rearrange it as M=h/W. The greater the wavelength, the smaller the momentum, and visa versa.
How much greater is the energy of a photon of ultraviolet radiation than the energy of an average photon of sunlight?
The energy of a photon of ultraviolet radiation is greater than the energy of an average photon of sunlight because ultraviolet radiation has higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths, which correspond to higher energy photons. The difference in energy can be significant, with ultraviolet photons having several times more energy than photons of sunlight.
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.
How does a gamma wave differ from a microwave?
Gamma waves are electromagnetic waves with a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than microwaves. They are commonly used in medical imaging and cancer treatment. Microwaves, on the other hand, have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies, and are typically used in household appliances like microwave ovens and satellite communication.
What flame color emits more photons?
The flame color that emits more photons is typically blue. Blue flames have a higher temperature and more complete combustion, resulting in a greater number of high-energy photons being released. In contrast, yellow or orange flames, which are cooler and often result from incomplete combustion, emit fewer photons overall. Thus, the intensity and energy of the blue flame contribute to its increased photon emission.
Why is the energy of a photon greater than that of an electron?
The energy of a photon is greater than that of an electron because photons are massless particles that travel at the speed of light, which requires a high amount of energy. Electrons, on the other hand, have mass and velocity limitations that result in lower energy compared to photons.
Is there any kind of speed greater than light?
no...but there are particles which have speeds closer to light,like photons,god particle(matter-wave)particle
Do microwaves have very high energy waves?
Microwaves have a wavelength of 3 cm down to about 0.03 cm so the photons are much less energetic than infra-red, normal light, ultra-violet, x-rays etc. Microwaves are used for communications and radar, and are classified as non-ionising radiation. They do not ionise molecules and their only biological effect is to heat tissue - if the intensity of the source is large enough. That happens in the danger zone in front of a radar transmitter, or in a microwave oven.
Do photon have a greater energy than electron?
No. A photon has no rest mass an electron has mass.
