Question
1. In 1974, IBM researchers announced that X rays with a wavelengthof only 0.154 nm had been guided through a "light pipe" similar tooptic fibers used for visible and near-infrared light. Calculatethe energy of one of these X-ray photons.2. Wireless "cable" television uses radio waves having frequenciesclose to 28 GHz to transmit images. Find the energy of a photon atthis frequency.
3. Consider an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength equal to92 cm, a length that corresponds to the longest ear of corn grownto date. What is the frequency corresponding to this wavelength?What is its photon energy? Express the answer in joules and inelectron-volts.
I am sooo lost. Please help...
Explanation / Answer
1. E=hf or E= h c/ h- Plank's constant h=6.626× 1034Js or h=4.135× 1015 eV s - now just compute E= h c/ E= 6.626× 1034 x2.99x108 /1.54x10-10 = (in J)or E=4.135× 1015 x2.99x108 /1.54x10-10 = (in eV) - 2. E=hf 3. a)What is the frequency corresponding to thiswavelength? f=c/ b)What is its photon energy? Express the answer in joules andin electron-volts. E= h f Please let me know if you have any questions.Related Questions
