Define the following terms:
a. wavelength
b. chromophore
c. Planck’s constant
d. fluorescence
e. resonance energy transfer

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve the first three subparts for u. To get remaining subparts solved please report the complete question and mention the subparts to be solve.

Light shows dual nature one is particle nature and second is wave nature. So when light travels in the form of then the distance between two adjacent crest or trough is called wavelength. Each light has a specific wavelength from which it is distinguished from other light. 

Step 2

Chromophore is a group due to which molecule can show color. For a compound  to show the color it must absorbed light in the visible range or the energy difference between HOMO- LUMO lie in that range. So chromophore is unit which has the energy difference of HOMO-LUMO lie in it so after connecting any molecule that shows color.
