Chapter 7, Problem 7.33QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energy difference between photons of two different wavelengths has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The energy of each photon is given as

$\text{E}\text{=}\text{hν}$

h is Planck’s constant ($\text{6}\text{.63}\text{×}{\text{10}}^{\text{-34}}\text{J}\text{.s}$ ) which relates energy and frequency.

$\text{ν}$ is the frequency.

E is energy of light particle

Relation between frequency and wavelength is,

$\text{C}\text{=}\text{λν}$

Where,

C is the speed of light.

$\text{ν}$ is the frequency.

$\text{λ}$ is wavelength.
