Photons of a certain ultraviolet light have an energy of 6.34 * 10-19 J. (1a) What is the frequency of this UV light?=______ Hz(1b) Use λ = c/f to calculate its wavelength in nanometers (nm).=_____ nm   (1c) Light that has a frequency of about 5.20 * 1014 Hz (a wavelength of about 578 nm) appears yellow to our eyes. What is the energy in joules of the photons associated with this light?=______ J   (1d) The human eye is sensitive to orange light having a frequency of about 5.0 * 1014 Hz (a wavelength of about 608 nm). What is the energy in joules of the photons associated with this light? =________J
Gaseous elements emit line spectra with well-defined wavelengths. However, hot solid objects radiate a continuous spectrum, or a smear of wavelengths. Can you explain this discrepancy?
Elements in the gaseous state emit line spectra with well- defined wavelengths. But hot solid objects always emit a continuous spectrum—that is, a continuous smear of wavelengths. Can you account for this difference?
