Students have asked these similar questions
the US, Verizon's new 5G signal uses
electromagnetic waves of frequency 28 GHz, which is 28 x 10^9 Hz.
a. What wavelength of light is this?
b. What kind of electromagnetic wave is this (radio, infrared, x-ray,
etc)?
C. Your microwave oven uses electromagnetic waves of frequency 2.4
GHz or 2.4 x 10^9 Hz. The energy contained in a photon is directly
proportional to its frequency. This means that:
Everizon 28 x 10°HZ
W
hile
EMicrowave Oven x 2.4 × 10°HZ
How many times more energy does a photon from the Verizon cell
signal have than the photon from your microwave? Compare that to
the previous (4G LTE) signal of 700 MHz or 7 x 10^8 Hz.
(Before you get too worried remember that total energy delivered is
related to intensity as well, not just individual photon energy. You
can blind yourself with a red laser, but not with a dim red penlight of
the same frequency, for example).
ace
A. What is the energy of a 194.0MHz radio-frequency photon?
B. What is the energy of a visible-light photon with a wavelength of 611.0nm?
C. What is the energy of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 0.236nm?
Three laser beams have wavelengths λ1 = 400 nm, λ2 = 600 nm, and λ3 = 800 nm. The power of each laser beam is 1 W.a. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the photon energies E1 , E2 , and E3 in these three laser beams. Explain.b. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the number of photons per second N1 , N2 , and N3 delivered by the three laser beams. Explain.
