Long-wavelength infrared cameras detect infrared radiation with a wavelength of 1.0 x 10-5 meters. How much energy is in these waves? Talas​

Respuesta :

Answer: The energy of the infrared radiation is [tex]19.8\times 10^{-21}J[/tex]

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

[tex]E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]

E= energy

[tex]\lambda [/tex] = wavelength of the wave  =[tex]1.0\times 10^{-5}m[/tex]

h = Planck's constant  = [tex]6.626\times 10^{-34}Js[/tex]

c = speed of light = [tex]3\times 10^8m/s[/tex]

[tex]E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{1.0\times 10^{-5}m}[/tex]

[tex]E=19.8\times 10^{-21}J[/tex]

Thus energy of the infrared radiation is [tex]19.8\times 10^{-21}J[/tex]
