Answer» i. Max Planck put forward a theory known as Planck’s quantum theory to explain blackbody radiation. ii. According to this theory, the energy of electromagnetic radiation depends upon the frequency and not the amplitude. iii. The smallest quantity of energy that can be emitted or absorbed in the form of electromagnetic radiation is called as ‘quantum’. iv. The energy (E) of each quantum of radiation is directly proportional to its frequency (ν). i.e., E ∝ ν ; E = hν Where, h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 × 10-34 J s. |

Parameters of blue and red light are 400 nm and 750 nm respectively. Which of the two is of higher energy? |
|
Answer» 400 nm and 750 nm are the wavelengths of blue and red light respectively. Energy of radiation is given by the expression E = hν and the frequency (ν), of radiation is related to the wavelength by the expression. ν = \(\frac{c}{\lambda}\) ∴ E = \(\frac{hc}{\lambda}\) Therefore, Shorter the wavelength, λ, larger the frequency, ν, and higher the energy, E. Thus, Blue light which has shorter λ (400 nm) than red light (750 nm) has higher energy. |
