Answer:
D) directly, inversely
Explanation:
The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.
Frequency is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time.
Wavelength is the is the distance between successive crests or troughs on a wave.
Mathematically, frequency is related to wavelength and velocity using;
Energy = h x f
where h is the Planck's constant
f is the frequency
Since c = f ∧
where f is the frequency of the wave
∧ is the wavelength of the wave
c is the speed of light
So;
f = c/∧
Therefore;
E =
From the equation, we see an inverse relationship between E and wavelength and a direct one with frequency.
Explanation:
Young' modulus is the ratio of normal stress to the longitudinal strain. Mathematically, it is given by :
Normal stress is given by force per unit area. Longitudinal strain is the change in length per unit original length.
The mathematical definition of Young's modulus is given by :
..........(1)
Where
is the change in length
F is the force
A is the area of cross section
So, the Young's modulus refers to the change in length of the object. Hence, the correct option is (b) "length".
