What is the relationship between photon energy and frequency?.

  1. A.E = hf
  2. B.E = mc^2
  3. C.E = W/t
  4. D.E = P x t

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • E = hf

Explanation

Why this works

The energy (E) of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency (f) as described by the equation E = hf, where h is Planck's constant. This relationship is fundamental in understanding the photoelectric effect and the quantization of light.
