Chapter 4: Problem 196

True or false: Photons of green light have a higher frequency than photons of blue light. True or false: Photons of blue light have a longer wavelength than photons of orange light.

Short Answer

Expert verified
False; False

Step by step solution

01

Statement 1

Photons of green light have a higher frequency than photons of blue light. According to the order of colors in the visible light spectrum, green light comes after blue light (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red). Since the frequency decreases as we move from violet to red, green light has a lower frequency than blue light. Therefore, this statement is False.
02

Statement 2

Photons of blue light have a longer wavelength than photons of orange light. Once again, let's look at the order of colors in the visible light spectrum: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Blue light comes before orange light, and we know that the wavelength increases as we move from violet to red. So, photons of blue light have a shorter wavelength than photons of orange light. This means the statement is also False.
