An atom in its ground state is excited when it absorbs a single photon of light. The atom then relaxes back to the ground state by emitting two photons, the first, an orange photon at 600 nm, and the second, an infrared photon at 1200 nm. What is the wavelength of the absorbed photon? 600 nm 400 nm 1400 nm 1200 nm 900 nm

▾ Part A When an object like a piece of graphite is heated to 1000 K, it glows red. When the temperature is increased to around 3000 K, the color of emitted light becomes orange. What is the reason for this change in color? O The average wavelength of the photons emitted increases with increasing temperature. O The average energy of the photons emitted increases as the temperature increases. O The speed of the photons (quantized packets of radiant energy) increases within creasing temperature.
