Chapter 3.3, Problem 3.9YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Energy of two given wavelength has to be compared to each other.

Concept-Introduction:

Wavelength: The distance between successive peaks in a wave and measured in units of length.

Frequency: The number of waves passed a point in a certain amount of time.

Relation between wavelength and frequency:

$\text{Frequency}\left(\text{ν}\right)\text{=}\frac{\text{speed}\text{of}\text{light}\left(\text{c}\right)}{\text{wavelength}\left(\text{λ}\right)}$

Where, c is constant, the value of c is $\left(\text{3}{\text{.00×10}}^{\text{8}}\text{m/s}\right)$ and represents the maximum velocity that light is able to travel through air.

Conversion of centimeter into meter (cm to m): $\text{1 cm}\text{=}{\text{1×10}}^{\text{-2}}\text{m}$
