Interpretation:
The characteristics of light waves that would be same and also different between two light sources have to be determined. Also, energy of photons and total energy of the light from the two sources has to be compared.
Concept Introduction:
The wave nature of any light can be described by its frequency, wavelength, and amplitude. The wavelength
The relation between frequency
Here,

Explanation of Solution
The colors of the light sources are the results of the
The expression of relation between wavelength
Since wavelengths of two light are the same and the
The brightness of the light is related to the amplitude of the light wave, and since two light sources as different brightness thus the value of amplitude of both light waves is different.
The expression that relates the energy
Here,
Since the frequency of two light sources are the same and
Since the brightness of one light source is double than another thus the total energy of light source is also doubled.

- Use the literature Ka value of the acetic acid, and the data below to answer these questions. Note: You will not use the experimental titration graphs to answer the questions that follow. Group #1: Buffer pH = 4.35 Group #2: Buffer pH = 4.70 Group #3: Buffer pH = 5.00 Group #4: Buffer pH = 5.30 Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the buffer pH provided and the literature pKa value of acetic acid to perform the following: a) calculate the ratios of [acetate]/[acetic acid] for each of the 4 groups buffer solutions above. b) using the calculated ratios, which group solution will provide the best optimal buffer (Hint: what [acetate]/[acetic acid] ratio value is expected for an optimal buffer?) c) explain your choicearrow_forwardHow would you prepare 1 liter of a 50 mM Phosphate buffer at pH 7.5 beginning with K3PO4 and 1 M HCl or 1 M NaOH?
