Interpretation : The photon of infrared light or photon of ultraviolet light has more energy is to be determined.
Concept Introduction : According to Einstein, light can be modeled as energy quanta that behave like particles. These particles are termed photons. According to Planck's equation, photon energy is quantized.
Answer to Problem 51A
The photon of ultraviolet light has more energy than a photon of infrared light.
Explanation of Solution
The photons of energy are quantized.
The frequency is how often waves cycle through a specific point in a unit of time.
In the electromagnetic spectrum, the frequency increases from left to right.
According to Planck’s expression, the energy of photons and frequency are directly proportional to each other.
Since ultraviolet has a higher
