Intro to Sunlight & Photons
Did you know? A photon, like me, is characterized by either a wavelength or equivalently of energy.
There is an inverse relationship between the energy of a photon (E) and the wavelength of the light (λ)
E = Energy
H = Planck's Constant
C= Speed of light
λ= Wavelength of light
What Is Sunlight?
The total frequency of electromagnetic radiation emitted from the sun.
Photons?
Simply put, they are fundamental particles of light.
They have a unique property in which they are both a particle (w/ no charge) and a wave. This is what allows photons unique properties like refraction
and diffusion.
Photon Absorption
Photon absorption is when the electron can absorb the maximum amount of energy, regardless of light exposure.
Energy
=
hc/λ
