This unit starts off with a lesson about light! We learned about the differences between frequency and wavelength and how that effects the energy. The higher the frequency, and the smaller the wavelength, the more energy a photon has! We also learned to rank energy of light based on its name. For example, we know that Gamma rays have more energy than x-rays have more energy than ultra-violet light. We also learned that in the visible spectrum violet light is stronger than red light. To add to the information, we also were given a formula to figure out how much energy a photon of light has. The formula to figure out Frequency = C/W, and the formula to figure out Wavelength is C/F. Once you find the missing number, you can plug it into the energy equation: E = 6.63e-34(F).
