What is the relation between electromagnetic wave and photon?
Dec 18, 2014 · Rejecting this explanation we then arrive at your deeper question: "What is the relation between electromagnetic wave and photon?" Until a few years ago I shared the …
How is it possible photons have no mass but have energy?
Oct 30, 2019 · If photon collide with other object, it can be absorbed or be scattered. Whatever happens, total energy and momentum have to be conserved. If 1eV of photon is absorbed by …
The temperature of photon and its energy - Physics Stack Exchange
The photons are, roughly speaking, a count of the quantized energy of that mode. The best place to understand the relation between field modes, their energy, and photons are Glauber's …
How do they find the energy of a photon? - Physics Stack Exchange
Feb 11, 2016 · The easiest way to measure the energy of a photon, is to make a reaction using the photoelectric effect. The photon hits a surface, knocks out an electron, and the electron …
quantum mechanics - Compton scattering vs. photoelectric effect ...
Jul 7, 2012 · Say a photon hits some atom. What determines whether there will be a photoelectric effect (photon is absorbed, electron is released) or whether there will be a Compton scattering …
What makes an electron jump down to lower energy level?
Aug 11, 2020 · Higher energy orbitals are in general larger than lower energy orbitals. So an electron tends to move toward lower energy orbitals. Classically, it would gain kinetic energy …
What exactly is a photon? - Physics Stack Exchange
Aug 7, 2016 · The energy and momentum of a photon correspond to wavelength and frequency of light, which govern the interference and diffraction behavior. The bottom line is that a photon is …
Why is the photopeak at a higher energy than the Compton edge?
Jan 8, 2018 · Yes, the photopeak will always be at a higher energy than the Compton edge, regardless of the photon's energy. This is because the energy of the Compton edge is smaller …
Too much photon energy required to excite an atom
Mar 8, 2023 · With a photon collision, it needs exactly the amount of energy as the difference of energies between energy levels in the atom. If it has too little energy, the electron wouldn't be …
Are there any theoretical limits on the energy of a photon?
Jan 17, 2015 · Is there any lower or upper limit on the energy of a photon? i.e. does the mathematical framework we currently use to study photons blow up when a photon surpasses …
