The wavelength λ of a photon can be calculated using the energy of the photon E and the speed of light c, where λ = c/E. The energy of the photon depends on the emission process that released it.

How do you find wavelength if you've been given the energy?

You can use the equation E = hc/λ, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength. Rearrange the equation to solve for λ by dividing both sides by E and then multiplying by hc.


Why does a red object appear red?

The color red is the wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum that is about 650 nanometers (within the range of what is commonly called "visible light"). This represents a particular wavelength (inversely, a particular frequency) that photons of light exist at. When a photon of this kind exists, it is generally because an atom of a substance has emitted a photon of this wavelength/frequency (a "red" photon). This can happen when a substance receives broad-spectrum (white) light, and absorbs all but the red part of the visible spectrum. After the red photon has been emitted, it is absorbed by a molecular/enzyme complex called "rhodopsin" in the retina of the eye, where it, then, produces a particular energy "signal" for the optic nerve. This signal travels back to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe of the brain (in the back), and it is "decoded" as "red".


Why does violet has the most energy?

Violet light has the most energy among visible light because it has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, so higher frequency light like violet light carries more energy.


What is the wavelength and frequency of photons with and energy of 1.410-21?

Let us use the expression E = h v v is the frequency in Hz So v = E / h E = 1.4 x 10-21 J h = planck's constant = 6.676 x 10-34 Js Plug and solve for v So v = 2112.9 G Hz To have wavelength lambda we have to use the expression lambda = c/v c = the velocity of light in vacuum ie 3 x 108 m/s Plug and solving we get lambda = 1.42 x 10-4 m

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.


What Stokes shift indicate?

When a crystal absorbs a photon, that energy becomes part of the crystal. When that same crystal releases a photon, that photon is taking energy away from the crystal. The Stokes Shift is a measure of the difference in wavelength (and thus energy) of photons absorbed by a crystal and then immediately re-emitted by that same crystal. The energy shift between the two photons is an indication of how much energy has been permanently absorbed by the crystal in the form of heat.

Calculate the wavelength of photon whose frequency is 6.84 x 1014 s-1?

wave lenght(λ)=speed of light(c)/frequency(v) λ=c/v c= 3*10^8 m/s v=6.84*10^14 s^-1 λ=3*10^8/6.84*10^14 λ=0.4385 * 10^-6 λ=4.4 * 10^-7 hope the answer has been given to ur question thank you
