Calculate the wavelength of a photon that has energy 2.83 × 10−19 Joules. Give your answer in units of nano metres. Hint: Planck’s constant h = 6.625 × 10−34 J s.
Imagine a photon that was determined to have a wavelength of 150 nm. Remembering that the speed of light is 3*10^8 m/s, what is the frequency of that light in units of Hz? (Provide only the number with commas to help count off orders of ten accurately, do not use scientific notation)
What aspects of photons are similar to those of other particles, such as electrons? In what ways do they differ from one another? Do photons have a mass of their own? Do they have a source of electricity? Is it possible to get them accelerated? What kind of mechanical characteristics do they have?
