Chapter 7, Problem 37E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most energetic and the least energetic electromagnetic radiation are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The distance between two consecutive crests of a wave is called wavelength.

Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a fixed point per second.

The arrangement of lights according to the wavelength associated with them is called spectrum.

The relation between energy and wavelength of radiation is given by:

$\text{E}\propto \frac{1}{\lambda }$

Here, $\lambda$ is the wavelength of radiation and $\text{E}$ is the energy of the radiation.
