Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The increasing order of wavelength has to be arranged.
Concept-Introduction:
Wavelength: The distance between successive peaks in a wave and measured in units of length.
Frequency: The number of waves passed a point in a certain amount of time.
Relation between wavelength and frequency:
Where, c is constant, the value of c is

Chemistry In Context
- Laser light of a specific frequency falls on a crystal that converts a portion of this light into light with double the original frequency. How is the wavelength of this frequency-doubled light related to the wavelength of the original laser light? Suppose the original laser light was red. In which region of the spectrum would the frequency-doubled light be? (If this is in the visible region, what color is the light?)arrow_forwardThe following are representative wavelengths in the infrared, ultraviolet, and x-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, respectively: 1.0 106m, 1.0 108m, and 1.0 1010m. What is the energy of a photon of each radiation? Which has the greatest amount of energy per photon? Which has the least?arrow_forwardThe frequency of the strong red line in the spectrum of potassium is 3.91 1014/s. What is the wavelength of this light in nanometers?arrow_forward
- Hi, I am working on quantum energy as it related to wavelength. I came across across a probelm (attached is a picture) and i did the calculation right. I got the numbers 3.97 for the solution, but i cannot figure out why it is equal to 397 nm and 3.97*10^-7 m. The conversions don't make sense me.arrow_forwardMacmillan Learning Classify each statement about electromagnetic radiation as true or false. True Incorrect Radio waves have longer wavelengths than visible light. If the frequency of a wave decreases by some factor, the wavelength of that wave increases by the same factor. Infrared radiation is slower than visible light. The electromagnetic spectrum includes microwaves. Answer Bank False Ultraviolet radiation is lower in energy than visible light. Visible light has a lower frequency than infrared radiation.arrow_forwardFast answer pleasearrow_forward
- Answer for infrared radiationarrow_forwardwhat is the frequency of infrared radiation if the wavelength is 21.20 um?arrow_forwardCHEMWORK Check all the boxes that are true. (Select all that apply.) O The third energy level has three sublevels - the s, p, and d sublevels. In going from the 2s' state to the 1s' state, a hydrogen atom would emit a photon of light. O The hydrogen atom has quantized energy levels. In the buildup of atoms, the 3d orbital fills before the 4s orbital. Blue light is less energetic than red light. Submitarrow_forward
