the electron would have the longer wavelength b/c the proton has more momentum and λ=h/p (λ is wavelength, h is planc's constant and p is momentum)

If proton and an electron have the same speed which has the longer de Broglie wavelength?

It is electron since wavelength = h/(mv), and since proton's mass > electron's mass, electron's wavelength is longer.


When an electron in atom changes energy states a photon is emitted If the photon has a wavelength of 550 nm how did the energy of the electron change?

The energy of the electron decreased as it moved to a lower energy state, emitting a photon with a wavelength of 550 nm. This decrease in energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the initial and final states of the electron transition. The energy of the photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so a longer wavelength photon corresponds to lower energy.


Will a wavelength be shorter or longer the slower the object vibrates?

The wavelength will be longer if the object vibrates slower. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; as frequency decreases, wavelength increases.


Why is a shorter wavelength of light emitted when an electron falls from n4 to n1 than when an electron falls from n2 to n1?

When an electron falls from n4 to n1, it releases more energy because it is transitioning between high energy states. This higher energy transition corresponds to a shorter wavelength of light being emitted, according to the energy of the photon being inversely proportional to its wavelength. In contrast, when an electron falls from n2 to n1, the energy released is less, resulting in a longer wavelength of light emitted.


Does longer wavelength mean higher frequency?

No. Longer wavelength means lower frequency.When you multiply wavelength by frequency, the product is always the same.


What is longer than visible wavelength called?

Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a lower frequency, than visible light.


A microwave and an x ray are traveling in a vacuum compared to the wavelength and frequency of the microwave the x ray has a wavelength that is shorter or longer?

What station would have the longer wavelength 90.5 MHz or 107.1 MHz?

The station with 107.1 MHz would have the longer wavelength.


The slower an object vibrates the longer wavelength will be?

Yes, the wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. As frequency decreases, the wavelength increases. Therefore, if an object is vibrating more slowly, it will produce waves with longer wavelengths.


What happens to longer wavelength energy?

Longer wavelength energy is typically absorbed and converted into heat by materials. This process occurs in objects such as the Earth's surface, which absorbs longer wavelength energy from the Sun and warms up as a result.


What frequency has a longer wave length 550KZ 152MHz 800MHz?

a frequency is inversely proportional related to the wavelength meaning that a higher frequency has a shorter wavelength. Therefore, the signal of 550 KHz has the longest wavelength.


Which light wavelength make it through glass faster?
