What is the frequency and energy per quantum (in joules) of :
(a) a gamma ray with a wavelength of 0: 600 pm,
(b) a microwave with a wavelength of 2.50 cm?

(a) f = 5.00 × 10²⁰ Hz, E = 3.32 × 10⁻¹³ J;

(b) f = 1.20 × 10¹⁰ Hz, E = 7.96 × 10⁻²⁴J.

What's the similarity between a gamma ray and a microwave?

Both gamma rays and microwave rays are electromagnetic radiations. Both travel at the speed of light at in vacuum.

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.
