Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. If the frequency of X-ray radiation is increased, what changes? I. The number of photons. II. The energy of the radiation. III. The amplitude of the wave. IV. The wavelength of the radiation. I and II I and III I and IV II and III II and IV.

Answer 1

Answer:

II and IV.

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, do the following:

Energy (E) and frequency (f) are related by the following equation:

E = hf

Where:

E is the energy.

h is the Planck's constant.

f is the frequency.

From the equation E = hf

Energy is directly proportional to the frequency. This implies that an increase in the frequency will also increase the energy and a decrease in the frequency will also decrease the energy.

Therefore, (II) in the question above is correct.

Velocity (v), wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) are related by the following equation:

v = λf

Divide both side by λ

f = v/λ

Thus, we can see clearly that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. This means that an increase in frequency will decrease the wavelength and a decrease in frequency will increase the wavelength.

Therefore, (IV) in question above is correct.

Thus, II and IV are the correct answers.
