Chemistry-Class XI
Light is the form of radiation known from early days and speculation about its nature dates to remote
ancient times. In earlier days (Newton) light was supposed to be made of particles (corpuscles). It was
only in the 19th century when wave nature of light was established. It is now well established that there
are many types of electromagnetic radiations which differ from one another in wavelength (or
frequency). These constitute what is called electromagnetic spectrum. Different regions of the spectrum
are identified by different names. Some examples are: radio frequency region around 10 6 Hz, used for
broadcasting; microwave region around 1010 Hz used for radar; infrared region around 10 13 Hz used for
heating; ultraviolet region around 1016 Hz a component of sun's radiation. The small portion around 10 15
Hz, is what is ordinarily called visible light.
1) Find energy of each of the photons which
(i) correspond to light of frequency 3 x 1015 Hz.
(ii) have wavelength of 0.50 A.
[Link] the wavelength of an electron moving with velocity of 2.05 x 10 7 ms-1
[Link] Vividh Bharati station of all india Radio, Delhi,broadcasts on a frequency of 1,368kHz (kilo hertz).
Calculate the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by transmitter.
[Link] velocity associated with a proton moving in a potential difference of 1000 V is 4.37×10ms-1 If the
hockey ball of mass 0.1 kg is moving with this velocity, calculate the wavelength associated with this
velocity.
