It's proportional to the frequency of the photon ... 6.63 x 10-34 joule per Hz.

What is the amount of energy carried by a photon that has a frequency of 5.71x1014Hz?

The energy carried by a photon can be calculated using the equation E = hf, where h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J·s) and f is the frequency of the photon. Plugging in the values, the energy of a photon with a frequency of 5.71 x 10^14 Hz would be approximately 3.78 x 10^-19 Joules.


How is a photon formed?

A photon is formed when an electron transitions to a lower energy level within an atom or molecule, releasing energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy is carried by the photon as a discrete particle-like bundle of electromagnetic radiation.


Is energy is conserved when an atom emits a photon of light?

Energy is ALWAYS conserved. The appropriate sum of mass and energy is always conserved. If an atom emits a photon, the atom has less energy/mass, and the universe minus that atom has more energy/mass. It's like carrying some energy from here to there.


What is the best definition for the measure of a photons energy?

The measure of a photon's energy is its frequency or equivalently, its wavelength. This is determined by the amount of energy carried by the photon, corresponding to the electromagnetic spectrum as visible light, radio waves or X-rays depending on the energy level.


What happens if the energy of a photon exceeds that necessary for pair production?

If the energy of a photon exceeds the threshold energy for pair production, the excess energy will be carried away by the produced particles as kinetic energy. This additional energy will contribute to the speed at which the particles are created and will increase their momentum.

Are sound waves in solar energy?

No, sound wave is translating wave of the matter. The solar energy is the wave carried by photon which is an energy (non-matter). There is no way a sound wave would be carried in the stream of photon.

WHAT According Einstein is the relativistic mass of light?

Any object has two masses associated.What is sometimes called the rest mass, or invariant mass, for the photon (piece of light), is zero. Its relativistic mass is equal to its energy divided by c squared.

What are the uses of relativistic kinematics?

realtivistic kinematics are used in particle physics to describe the process of particles traveling at (photon) or near the speed of light. RK can be used to calculate the energies, momenta and decay length of the particles involved in the interaction,

How does photon energy change with wavelength?

The energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength. This means that as the wavelength increases, the energy of the photon decreases. Conversely, as the wavelength decreases, the energy of the photon increases.
