光子能量(普朗克–爱因斯坦关系)Photon energy (Planck–Einstein relation)

\[E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = hc\tilde\nu,\qquad E/\mathrm{eV} \approx \frac{1239.84}{\lambda/\mathrm{nm}}\]
光子动量photon momentum
\[p = \frac{h}{\lambda} = \frac Ec\]

含义Meaning

光以能量为 hν 的量子(光子)形式被吸收和发射。普朗克(1900)为解释黑体辐射引入能量量子,爱因斯坦(1905)推广到光本身。

Light is absorbed and emitted in quanta of energy hν. Planck (1900) introduced quanta to explain black-body radiation; Einstein (1905) extended them to light itself.

推导Derivation

  1. 普朗克假设振子能量只能是 hν 的整数倍,导出与实验吻合的黑体辐射公式,避免“紫外灾难”。

    Planck assumed oscillator energies come in multiples of hν, fitting black-body spectra and avoiding the ultraviolet catastrophe.

  2. 用 c = λν 改写;每摩尔光子能量 \(E_m = N_Ahc/\lambda\):500 nm 光子约 239 kJ/mol,可与化学键能比较。

    Per mole \(E_m = N_Ahc/\lambda\): 500 nm ≈ 239 kJ/mol, comparable to bond energies.

适用条件与局限Assumptions & limitations

  • 单光子关系;强激光下可发生多光子吸收。

    Single-photon relation; intense lasers allow multiphoton absorption.
