Silicon films become better electrical conductors when illuminated by photons with energies of 1.14 eV or greater, an effect called photoconductivity. Which of the following wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation can cause photoconductivity in silicon films? (i) Ultraviolet light with l = 300 nm; (ii) red light with l = 600 nm; (iii) infrared light with l = 1200 nm; (iv) both (i) and (ii); (v) all of (i), (ii), and (iii).
The average threshold of dark-adapted (scotopic) vision is 4.00 x 10-11 W/m? at
a central wavelength of 500 nm. If light having this intensity and wavelength
enters the eye and the pupil is open to its maximum diameter of 8.50 mm, how
many photons per second enter the eye?
When an ultraviolet photon is absorbed by a molecule of DNA, the photon’s energy can be converted into vibrational energy of the molecular bonds. Excessive vibration damages the molecule by causing the bonds to break. Ultraviolet light of wavelength less than 290 nm causes significant damage to DNA; ultraviolet light of longer wavelength causes minimal damage. What is the threshold photon energy, in eV, for DNA damage?
