Concept explainers
Interpretation:
To determine the radiation with higher frequency and higher energy from the given information:
UV radiation with wavelength 3 × 10-7 m and infrared radiation with wavelength 1 × 10-5m
Concept introduction:
Wavelength: It may be defined as the distance between two successive crest of a wave. Unit of wavelength is nm.
Frequency:
It may be defined as the number of waves that passes through a fixed point in a unit time. Unit of frequency is Hz or s-1.
Relation between Energy and wavelength and frequency. Mathematically,
