Question

The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its a. O velocity b. O amplitude c. O frequency d. O wavelength

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

The energy of photon is given by :

$E=h\times f$

Where

h is the Planck's constant

f is the frequency of wave

There is a relation between the frequency and the wavelength of a wave as :

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

v is the velocity of wave

Energy of photon can be given by :

$E=h\times \dfrac{v}{\lambda}$.............(1)

From equation (1) it is clear that the energy of a photon is directly proportional to its velocity. So, the correct option is (a).
