The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the relationship between the energy of two wavelengths, 2000 Å and 8000 Å, we can use the formula derived from Planck's theory. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Formula**: According to Planck's theory, the energy (E) of a photon is given by the equation: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: - \(E\) is the energy, - \(h\) is Planck's constant, - \(c\) is the speed of light, - \(\lambda\) is the wavelength. 2. **Setting Up the Energies**: Let: - \(E_1\) be the energy corresponding to the wavelength \(2000 \, \text{Å}\), - \(E_2\) be the energy corresponding to the wavelength \(8000 \, \text{Å}\). 3. **Using the Energy Formula**: From the formula, we can express the energies as: \[ E_1 = \frac{hc}{2000} \] \[ E_2 = \frac{hc}{8000} \] 4. **Finding the Ratio of Energies**: To find the relationship between \(E_1\) and \(E_2\), we can take the ratio: \[ \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{\frac{hc}{2000}}{\frac{hc}{8000}} \] 5. **Simplifying the Ratio**: The \(hc\) terms cancel out: \[ \frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{8000}{2000} \] 6. **Calculating the Value**: Now, simplifying the fraction: \[ \frac{8000}{2000} = 4 \] Therefore, we have: \[ E_1 = 4 \times E_2 \] 7. **Conclusion**: The energy corresponding to the wavelength of \(2000 \, \text{Å}\) is 4 times greater than that corresponding to \(8000 \, \text{Å}\). ### Final Answer: Thus, the relationship between the energies is: \[ E_1 = 4 \times E_2 \]
