The red line of the hydrogen emission spectrum has a wavelength of 656.1 nm. calculate the energy of one photon

The formula we can use here is the Plancks equation:

E = h c / ʎ

where h is Plancks constant = 6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s, c is speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s and ʎ is wavelength = 656.1 x 10^-9 m

Therefore E is:

E = (6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s) * (3 x 10^8 m/s) / 656.1 x 10^-9 m

E = 3.03 x 10^-19 J

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j

the transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation is called thermal radiation . it is usually carried out by electromagnetic waves in an energy range just below the visible spectrum, which is the infrared range.

so the answer would be radiation.
