A contianer with 0.485 L of water is placed into a microwave and is then radiated with electromagnetic energy that has a wavelength of 10.5 cm. The temperature of the water then rose by 67.7 degrees Celcius. Calculate the number of photons that were absorbed by the water. Assume water has a density of 1.00 g/mL and its specific heat is 4.184 J/g degree C
1.) What formula is used for calculating the energy absorbed by the water?
2.) Calculate the energy absorbed by the water in the microwave.
3.) What formula is used for calculating the energy of a single photon?
4.) Calculate the energy of a single photon with a wavelength of 10.5 cm. Is this a large or small number?
5.) How does the energy absorbed by the water compare to the energy of the photon?
