The microwaves in an oven are of a specific frequency that will heat the water molecules contained in food. (This is why most plastics and glass do not become hot in a microwave oven-they do not contain water molecules.) This frequency is about 3 × 109 Hz. What is the energy of one photon in these microwaves?

about 2 x 10^-24 J

Explanation:

frequency (ν) = 3 x 10^9 Hz

We have the frequency and we're trying to find the energy of a photon so we will be using the formula...

E = hν

where 'h' is Planck's constant:  6.626 × 10^−34 joule seconds (J s).

Plug the numbers in...

E = (6.626 × 10^−34 Js)(3 x 10^9 Hz)

E = 1.9878 x 10^-24 J

E ≈ 2 x 10^-24 J

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
