Question

According to the photon energy formula, tripling the frequency of the radiation from a monochromatic source will change the energy content of the individually radiated photons by what factor?

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Explanation:

The photon energy formula:

E=hf

Energy carried by a single photon is called photon energy. The photons energy is directly proportional to the photons frequency, therefore if the frequency of photon is increased three times, the energy of the photons will also increase three times.

Answer 2

Answer:

By a factor of 3

Explanation:

In the photon energy formula , frequency and the energy content have a direct relationship. This means anything that is done to one of the parameters is the same that will be done to the other to have a balance.

In this equation: Energy=plank’s constant * frequency.

Energy is directly proportional to frequency.
