Hydrogen, like all elements, have a characteristic distance between energy levels. The atom can only accept photons of energy that match that distance and then that light is emitted. 500 nm does not match the wavelength of light that matches the wavelength corresponding to the energy gap in hydrogen.

What is the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 500 nanometers?

The frequency of a wave can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Given that the speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second and the wavelength is 500 nanometers (which is 500 x 10^-9 meters), the frequency would be approximately 6 x 10^14 hertz.


What if the wall reflects light 400 to 500 nm and absorbs light 600 to 700 nm?

If the wall reflects light in the 400 to 500 nm range and absorbs light in the 600 to 700 nm range, it would appear to our eyes as a color that falls within the reflected range (blue-green) and not in the absorbed range. The absorbed light would not contribute to the perceived color of the wall.


If it takes 500 seconds for the light from the sun to reach the earth what is the distance to the sun in meters?

The distance from the sun to the Earth is about 150 million kilometers. To convert this to meters, we multiply by 1000 to get 150 billion meters.


How do you measure light intencity?

Measure Light Intensity using Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) The resistance of the Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) varies according to the amount of light that falls on it. The relationship between the resistance RL and light intensity Lux for a typical LDR is RL = 500 / Lux Kohm With the LDR connected to 5V through a 3.3K resistor, the output voltage of the LDR is Vo = 5*RL / (RL+3.3) Reworking the equation, we obtain the light intensity Lux = (2500/Vo - 500)/3.3 For a low cost LDR, at the same light intensity, the part to part variation in resistance can be as high as 50%. Therefore such a low cost LDR is seldom used for measuring light intensity but more for light presence/absence detection.


What is the momentum of a 35 kg shell fired from a cannon with a velocity of 500 m per s?

The momentum of an object is given by the product of its mass and velocity. In this case, the momentum of the shell would be 35 kg * 500 m/s = 17,500 kg*m/s.
