In quantum mechanics, particularly the wave-particle theory, it states that light behaves like a wave or a particle. For the wave behavior, its movement is measured in wavelengths while the time for each wavelength is the frequency. For the particle behavior, according to Planck, the energy of the photon (light particle) is determined as
E = hc/wavelength, where h is the Planck's constant (<span>6.626 x 10-34 J-s per particle) and c is the speed of light ( 3 x 10^8m/s)
As you can see, the energy of the photon is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to the wavelength with the Planck's constant as the constant of proportionality.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
This type of spectrum is called line emission spectrum . Because it consists of lines . It is emission spectrum because it is due to emission of radiation from a source .
b ) The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its energy . Photon due to transition between n = 1 and n = 3 will have higher energy than
that due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 . So the later photon ( B) will have greater wavelength or photon due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 will have greater wavelength .
The frequency of the radio wave is:
The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is related to its frequency by the relationship
where c is the speed of light and f the frequency. Plugging numbers into the equation, we find
and this is the wavelength of the radio waves in the problem.
Answer:
Yes, ultraviolet light can turn a rubber into solid due to prolong exposure.
Explanation:
A rubber is a material with an elastic property, causing it to be deform by an external force but takes its shape when the force is removed. Light is an electromagnetic wave which causes the sensation of vision. It transfers energy to a medium during propagation through the medium.
Generally, most light do not cause hardness of a rubber. But an ultraviolet light can cause rubber to become solid over a period of time. This is possible if there is a prolong exposure of the rubber, and because of the evaporation of volatiles in the polymer material. Ultraviolet light are known to cause a rubber to become solid.
Answer:
a) m = 993 g
b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
Explanation:
atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794
4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176
we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602
difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158
fraction of mass lost = 
= 0.00723
loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23
a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)
b) energy released in the process
E = m c²
E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²
E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
