|
red light has less energy than other colored light. |
Homework Answers
Fourth option, 'red light has less energy than other colored light' is the correct answer.
Explanation -
I think you remember the rainbow, ROYGBIV. Well, red light has the longest wavelength, which means it has the lowest energy photon.
The radiation that hot surfaces result from electrons jumping from one orbital to other. The lower energy transitions occur at lower temperatures than the higher energy transitions. They produce infra-red light first, then red then orange then white etc.

Which of the following statements about red giant stars are true? (Select all that apply.) Red giant stars are less luminous than main sequence stars of the same temperature. Red giant stars tend to be more luminous than main sequence stars of the same temperatures because they are larger in size. Red giant stars are less luminous than main sequence stars because fusion happens more rapidly in main sequence stars. A red giant star of a given temperature is more...

You and a coworker are discussing the relative merits of DDR2 vs. DDR3, and specifically DDR2-667 against DDR3-1600. You believe the faster DDR3 is always faster, while your coworker says that latency due to greater power consumption actually makes DDR3-1600 modules slower than DDR2-667 memory. Your supervisor comes along to try to settle the dispute. What does he say is true of DDR2 and DDR3? A. He says DDR3-1600 will always be faster than DDR2-667 because of the faster clock...

Wrap up question 1: You have a liter of liquid nitrogen at -250 C, well below its boiling point. What happens as you add heat to the liquid nitrogen, before it reaches its boiling point? Wrap up question 2: You have a liter of liquid nitrogen at -250 C. If you raise the temperature to -195 C, the nitrogen will convert to the gas phase. You continue to add more heat to the nitrogen, so what happens to the temperature...

(+30) You have a half-filled hot tub that is cold (T-25 "C). You have two ways of heating it up: add more hot water (maximum T = 45 "C) and/or turn on the electric heater (5 kW). The total water capacity of your well-insulated hot tub is 1.0 m3, and the desired water temperature is 38"c. a. If you just use the electric heating element to heat up the existing water, without adding any new hot water: i. (+8) How...

7.) Sometimes you might hear that an appliance "uses up a lot of electricity" (such as "turn off that light when you leave the room so you don't waste electricity"). What is actually being used? Electricity is not used up, but the energy of the charges in the current is emitted as heat or light. It should be said instead don't waste energy by heating or lighting something if you do not need to. 8.) In a circuit when two...
