Question
Chapter 38, Problem 5A
To determine
Whether the blue light or red light has more energy per photon.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The energy of the photon depends on the frequency of the incident. The more of the
The frequency of the blue light is greater than the frequency of the red light. So, the blue light has more energy per photon than the energy per photon for red light.
Conclusion:
The blue light has more energy per photon than the red light because the frequency of the blue light is greater than the frequency of the red light.
