The correct Answer is:
To compare the energies of two radiations with wavelengths of 300 nm and 600 nm, we can use the formula for energy associated with electromagnetic radiation: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Energy Formula**: The energy \( E \) of a photon is given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: - \( E \) = energy of the photon - \( h \) = Planck's constant (\( 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \)) - \( c \) = speed of light (\( 3.00 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \)) - \( \lambda \) = wavelength of the radiation 2. **Calculate Energy for Each Wavelength**: - For the first radiation with wavelength \( \lambda_1 = 300 \, \text{nm} \): \[ E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} = \frac{hc}{300 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}} \] - For the second radiation with wavelength \( \lambda_2 = 600 \, \text{nm} \): \[ E_2 = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} = \frac{hc}{600 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}} \] 3. **Set Up the Ratio of Energies**: To compare the energies, we can take the ratio \( \frac{E_1}{E_2} \): \[ \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{\frac{hc}{300 \times 10^{-9}}}{\frac{hc}{600 \times 10^{-9}}} \] 4. **Simplify the Ratio**: The \( hc \) terms will cancel out: \[ \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{600 \times 10^{-9}}{300 \times 10^{-9}} = \frac{600}{300} = 2 \] 5. **Conclusion**: This means that the energy of the radiation with a wavelength of 300 nm is twice that of the radiation with a wavelength of 600 nm. Therefore: \[ E_1 = 2 \times E_2 \] ### Final Answer: The energy of the radiation with a wavelength of 300 nm is twice the energy of the radiation with a wavelength of 600 nm. ---
