Question

The energy of a photon is proportional to its a) amplitude. d) wave number, k-2m/A c) velocity. b) frequency

Answer 1

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Photons are the packet of energy. They are massless and chargeless particles. They travel in the vacuum with the speed of light. The energy of photon is given by :

$E=h\nu$

Where

h = Planck's constant

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

Or $E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

c = speed of light

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon

From the above equation, it is clear that the energy of photon is directly proportional to its frequency.
