Particle Theory of Light
The particle theory of light was the proposal made by Newton in 1704 in his treatise Opticks. This is the most basic light theory, in which light is thought to be made up of microscopic particles known as "corpuscles" and that's why this particle theory …
Stopping Potential
In an experiment conducted by Heinrich Hertz, an apparatus was made where the incident light was made to fall on the metallic plate, it was discovered that metals emit electrons. The surface electrons are bound to metals with a minimum amount of energy a…
Quantization of Charges
An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle either attached to an an atom or sticks to the nucleus of the atom. Electrons exert the negative charge that tries to balance the positive charge of the nucleus.

Chapter 38, Problem 29A
To determine

Whether a red beam or green beam of the laser beam carries more energy per photon.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The energy per photon of the light depends on the frequency of the incident light.

The frequency of the green beam of the laser beam is greater than the frequency of the red beam of the laser beam, so the green beam of the laser beam carries more energy per photon than the red beam.

Conclusion:

The green beam of the laser beam carries more energy per photon than the red beam.
