A dye absorbs a photon of wavelength and re-emits the same energy into two photons of wavelength and respectively. The wavelength is related to and as?
Step 1: Given
Assume to be the energy of photon of wavelength
Assume to be the energy of photon of wavelength
Assume to be the energy of photon of wavelength
Step 2: Formula Used
Energy of a photon is given as , where is Planck's constant and is speed of light.
Step 3: Solution
The energy of the photon of wavelength will be equal to the sum of energies of the photons with wavelengths and , because they are re-emitted from that photon. Thus,
Hence, the relation is .
