Which of the following is necessarily true?(a) Red light has more energy than violet light.(b) Violet light has more energy than red light.(c) A single photon of red light has more energy than asingle photon of violet light.(d) A single photon of violet light has more energy than asingle photon of red light.(e) None of the above.(f) A combination of the above (specify).
What are the energy and momentum of a photon of red light of wavelength
620 nanometers (nm)? What is the wavelength (in nm) of photons of energy 2.40 eV?
In attempting to reconcile the wave and particle models of light, some people have suggested that the photon rides up and down on the crests and troughs of the electromagnetic wave. What things are wrong with this description?
