If you were given the choice to be a beam of light , what (wavelength, colour, energy level etc) would you be?

Question

Posted to me by my teacher. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

To be honest, if I had the choice I would not take it. I think I would prefer to be me.
If my physics teacher was some sort of evil genius and only offered me the choice of specifying what type of light he was going to change me to I think that maybe UHF radio waves would be quite good. 90 kg worth of mass converted to energy would certainly be enough to fry my physics teacher and vapourise a significant chunk of the surroundings so that would serve him right and the EMP might destroy just about every piece of electronics on the planet and mess up the ionosphere for years but it should still have less effect on everybody else than x-rays would.

Answer 2

If you are only allowed to use visible light you should choose violet. It has the shortest wavelength of all the visible light and therefore has the highest energy. Violet light is able to produce more current than any other color of light in the photoelectric effect.

Answer 3

If you mean visible light, then I'd go with violet, at the higher energy end of the spectrum. If you mean any em radiation, then give me good old gamma rays.

Answer 4

use the formula to paintings out the energies at n=a million and n=4. the difference is the capability that is going to produce the sunshine photon. you are going to be attentive to capability = h * frequency to be having questions like this, so only divide E by utilising h (Planck's consistent) and there you circulate.

Answer 5

I would be white because it has all the wavelengths(made of all colors combined). Thus I would have the ability to transform myself into any color.
