Color, wavelength, and photon energy are all intimately related. Aqui está como:
*
comprimento de onda: This refers to the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave. For light, wavelength determines the color we perceive.
*
comprimentos de onda mais curtos corresponde a
Energia mais alta light, which we see as blues and violets.
*
comprimentos de onda mais longos corresponde a
menor energia light, which we see as reds and oranges.
*
Energia de fótons: Light is composed of tiny packets of energy called photons. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency (and inversely proportional to its wavelength).
*
Higher energy photons have
higher frequencies and
shorter wavelengths .
*
Lower energy photons have
lower frequencies and
longer wavelengths .
O relacionamento The relationship is simple:
*
Higher energy photons =Shorter wavelengths =Bluer colors *
Lower energy photons =Longer wavelengths =Redder colors Exemplo: *
Blue light has a wavelength of around 450 nanometers and a relatively high photon energy.
*
Red light has a wavelength of around 700 nanometers and a relatively lower photon energy.
Pontos de chave: *
luz visível: The human eye can only detect a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called visible light. This range corresponds to wavelengths from about 400 to 700 nanometers.
*
Beyond visible light: * Wavelengths shorter than visible light (ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays) have higher energy photons.
* Wavelengths longer than visible light (infrared, microwaves, radio waves) have lower energy photons.
