Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Consider a photon with energy 1.5 eV. 1. What is its wavelength in nanometers?  2. What is its frequency in hertz?  3. What type of electromagnetic radiation is it?
Blackbody radiation. a) Calculate the energy (in Joules) of an infrared photon with a frequency of 3×1012 Hz.(Remember Planck’s constant is h = 6.63 × 10−34 J.s) b) Calculate the wavelength of a photon which has an energy of 3.79 × 10−19J. (What colour of light does this wavelength correspond to?) c) What is the temperature of a star which has a blackbody peak wavelength of 500 nm? d) What is the peak emission frequency of a star which has a blackbody temperature of 10000 K?
