Chapter 6, Problem 115AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A relationship between the three wavelengths $({\lambda }_1,{\lambda }_2,{\lambda }_3)$ is to be described in the form of anequation.

Concept introduction:

The energy of a photon can be expressed as

$E=\text{h}\nu \text{or}E=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda }$

Here, $\text{h}$ is Planck’s constant $\left(6.63\times {10}^{-34}\text{ J}\cdot \text{s}\right)$, $\text{c}$ is the speed of light $\left(3.0\times {10}^8\text{ m/s}\right)$, E is the energy of a photon, $\lambda$ represents the wavelength, and $\nu$ represents the frequency.
