Concept introduction:
The energy of a light traveling with a specific frequency is given by the formula written below.
On the basis of the difference in the energy, the light ranges from short to long wavelengths. The collection of these different wavelength ranges of light result in the formation of the light spectrum.

- Arrange the following three frequencies of light in order of increasing energy per photon: a.100MHzb.10MHzc.100GHzarrow_forward6.10 Define the term refraction.arrow_forwardWhich photons contain more energy, X-ray photons with a frequency of 31017 Hz or ultraviolet photons with a frequency of 21015 Hz? X-ray photons Ultraviolet photons Neither. They both contain the same energy per photon.arrow_forward
- describe waves in terms of frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.arrow_forwardLight with a wavelength of 478 nm lies in the blue region of the visible spectrum. Calculate the frequency of this light.arrow_forwardGive a brief wave description of light. What are two characteristics of light waves?arrow_forward
- 6.12 Find the energy of a photon with each of the following frequencies (see Table 1.2 if needed). (a) 15.3 THz, (b) 1.7 EHz, (c) 6.221010 Hzarrow_forwardSelenium atoms have a particular transition that emits light of frequency 1.53 1015 Hz. (Hz is the abbreviation for hertz, which is equivalent to the unit/s, or s1.) Is this light in the visible spectrum? If so, what is the color of the light? (See Figure 7.5.)arrow_forwardWhat is the threshold frequency for sodium metal if a photon with frequency 6.661014s1 ejects an electron with 7.741020 J kinetic energy? Will the photoelectric effect be observed if sodium is exposed to orange light?arrow_forward
