The photon''s energy, h ν, equals the difference in energy, ∆E, between the two states. When it absorbs electromagnetic radiation the number of photons passing through a sample decreases. The measurement of this decrease in photons, which we call absorbance, is a useful analytical signal. Note that the each of the energy levels in Figure

READ MOREChemistry. Question. What are photons? Open in App. Solution. Verified by Toppr. Under the photon theory of light, a photon is a discrete bundle (or quantum) of electromagnetic (or light) energy. Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum, have a constant speed of light to all observers.
READ MOREWe can think of the incident light as a stream of photons with an energy determined by the light frequency. When a photon hits the metal surface, the photon''s energy is absorbed by an electron in the metal. The graphic below illustrates the relationship between light frequency and the kinetic energy of ejected electrons.

Electrons are tiny, negatively charged particles in an atom that move around the positive nucleus at the center. Energy levels are a little like the steps of a staircase.

This process occurs in plants and some algae (Kingdom Protista). Plants need only light energy, CO 2, and H 2 O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts
READ MOREA photon is a particle of light defined as a discrete bundle (or quantum) of electromagnetic (or light) energy. Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum (a completely empty space), have a constant speed of light to all observers.

READ MOREPhotons carry discrete amounts of energy called quanta which can be transferred to atoms and molecules when photons are absorbed. Depending on the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation, chemists can probe different parts of an atom or molecule''s structure using different kinds of spectroscopy.

The word quanta (singular quantum, Latin for how much) was used before 1900 to mean particles or amounts of different quantities, including electricity. In 1900, the German physicist Max Planck was studying black-body radiation, and he suggested that the experimental observations, specifically at shorter wavelengths, would be explained if the energy stored within a molecule was
