c = wavelength X frequency, where c is the speed of light, which is
299,792,458 m/s. So you need the wavelength of the photon. Then you divide c/wavelength and the result will be the frequency.

Plank's constant (h) = 6.6262 x 10-34 Joule*seconds

Energy (of a photon) = h*frequency, so frequency = Energy / h.

Photons travel at the speed of light (take c = 3 x 108 m/s)

Frequency = c/wavelength --> wavelength = (3 x 108 m/s)/frequency

Photon is a quantum of light energy. As photon interacts with an atom then that energy of the photon is utilized to excite the electron from lower energy level to higher energy level. This is how energy is absorbed.

Use; Energy = Planck's constant * frequency

3.0 X 10^-16 Joules = 6.626 X 10^-4 J*s * frequency

Frequency (Hz) = 4.5 X 10^17 sec^-1 ( or Hertz )

Wavelength, Frequency, or Photon Energy


What is the frequency in hertz and the energy in joules of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 2.32 Å?

For the frequency, first convert the wavelength to meters (divide the number of Angstroms by 1010), then use the formula: wavelength x frequency = speed. Using the speed of light in this case. Solving for frequency: frequency = speed / wavelength. To get the photon's energy, multiply the frequency times Planck's constant, which is 6.63 x 10-34 (joules times seconds).


How to Put these photons in order of increasing energy?

A photon with energy 3.0 x 10-19 J A photon with wavelength 525 nm A photon with frequency 7.6 x 1014 Hz A photon with frequency 2 x 1015 Hz


Determine the energy and wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 3.6X 1016 hertz Would this be a wave of interest to nuclear medicine?

assuming the wave is electromagnetic... the energy of a single photon of that frequency is given by the formula E=hf where E= energy of the photon h=the Planck constant f= the frequency of the photon From this the energy of the photon is the Planck constant (6.63 x10-34) multiplied by the frequency 3.6x1016 Hz. E= 23.9x10-18 Joules. The wavelength of any wave is determined by the equation wave speed = frequency x wavelength. thus, the wavelength is the wave speed divided by the frequency. since all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light then... wavelength = 3x108 / 3.6x1016 wavelength = 0.83x10-8 = 8.3x10-9 metres. The electromagnetic radiation corresponding to this energy and wavelength is ultraviolet radiation and may be of interest to nuclear medicine.

How do you find the energy of a photon?

You need to know the photon's frequency or wavelength. If you know the wavelength, divide the speed of light by the photon's wavelength to find the frequency. Once you have the photon's frequency, multiply that by Planck's Konstant. The product is the photon's energy.


Which is more energetic a red photon or a blue photon?

The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.


What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?

The energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency; the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength (since frequency x wavelength = speed of light, which is constant); thus, the energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength.


How are the wavelenght and energy of a photon related?

The energy of a photon is directly proportional to the frequency. Since the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, the energy, too, is inversely proportional to the wavelength.


Photon energy and frequency increases as the wavelength of light?

The energy increases as the frequency increases.The frequency decreases as the wavelength increases.So, the energy decreases as the wavelength increases.


What is the wavelength of a photon whose energy is twice that of a photon with a 580 nm wavelength?

Twice the energy means twice the frequency, and therefore half the wavelength.

What increases As the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation?

Remember that for any wave, wavelength x frequency = speed (of the wave). So, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. Also, since the energy of a photon is proportional to the frequency, the energy will decrease as well in this case.

Wavelength, Frequency, or Photon Energy


How is the energy of a photon related to its frequency and wavelength?

wavelength : wavelength is the distance from crest of one wave to the crest of next frequency : the number of waves that passes a given point in one second energy : the amplitude or intensity of a wave energy and frequency is directly proportional to each other when energy is high frequency is also high wavelength and frequency or energy is inversly proportional to each other when wavelength is high frequency or energy is low


What is the wavelength of a photon that has three times as much energy as that of a photon whose wavelength is 779 nm?

Photon energy is proportional to frequency ==> inversely proportional to wavelength.3 times the energy ==> 1/3 times the wavelength = 779/3 = 2592/3 nm
