If a certain source emits radiation of a wavelength of 400 nm then the energy in a mole of photons of this radiation can be found using E = hc/w. The energy in kJ/mol of a mole of these photons is approximately 300 kJ / mole.
2.012 x 10^(16)
highest frequency / shortest wavelength / same speed as all other photons.
289nm
False they have the shortest wavelength (period)
... have roughly double the energy of photons of red light, because their frequency is roughly double the frequency of red-light photons. (That also means that their wavelength is roughly half the wavelength of red-light photons, but this fact doesn't help the current discussion at all.)
Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
2.012 x 10^(16)
The energy of the photons decreases as the wavelength increases
highest frequency / shortest wavelength / same speed as all other photons.
2.012 x 10^(16)
-- longest wavelength -- lowest frequency
Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength
Wavelength, energy, color (if visible).
289nm
False they have the shortest wavelength (period)
Shortest wavelength means the highest frequency, meaning the photons have the highest energy. That is color violet. The violet light colors the skin brown. Red light with lower energy photons cannot do that.
They are inversely proportional or relationship to each other.
The amount of energy and therefore the wavelength differs. X-rays are more energetic than the others you mentioned.
