Question

Consider a single photon with a wavelength of λ, a frequency of ν, and an energy of E. What is the wavelength, frequency, and energy of a pulse of light containing 100 of these photons?

A)100λ, 100ν, and E
B)0.01λ, ν, and 100E
C)λ, ν, and 100E
D)0.01λ, 0.01ν, and 0.01E
E)100λ, 100ν, and 100E

Answers

Since energy is proportional to the number of photons, you often see energy of light expressed in joules per mole of photons (J/mol.) However, you will never see wavelength or frequency expressed in terms of moles. So the answer is C) λ, ν, and 100E.
