Gamma rays (γ-rays) are high-energy photons. In a certain nuclear reaction, a γ-ray of energy 0.306 MeV (million electronvolts) is produced. Compute the frequency of such a photon
The gravitational force between two objectof masses 10 and 10 is 6.67N.calculate the distance between them(g=6.67x10 Nm Kg)?
To compute the frequency of a photon, we can use the relationship between photon energy and frequency given by the equation:
E = h * f
Where:
E is the energy of the photon (in joules)
h is Planck's constant (6.62607015 × 10^-34 J·s)
f is the frequency of the photon (in hertz)
However, we have the energy of the photon given in electronvolts (eV). We need to convert it to joules before plugging it into the equation. The conversion factor is:
1 eV = 1.60218 × 10^-19 J
So, let's start by converting the energy from MeV to eV:
0.306 MeV * (1,000,000 eV / 1 MeV) = 306,000 eV
Now, we can convert the energy from eV to joules:
306,000 eV * (1.60218 × 10^-19 J / 1 eV) = 4.90593 × 10^-14 J
Finally, rewrite the equation to solve for frequency:
f = E / h
f = (4.90593 × 10^-14 J) / (6.62607015 × 10^-34 J·s)
Using these values, we can calculate the frequency of the photon.
