1. Explain the relationship between photon wavelength and photon energy. Is it proportional or inversely proportional? How do you know?
2. Explain the flame test phenomenon. Why can flame tests be performed? What happens to the electrons in the metal atoms of each compound?

Asked by bryantjean37

Answer (1)

Photon wavelength and energy are inversely proportional, with energy decreasing as wavelength increases. Flame tests utilize the unique light emissions from heated metal electrons, allowing for identification of elements based on color. This relationship is fundamental in both quantum physics and analytical chemistry. ;
