Does the energy of a photon increase as the frequency decreases ? No.
In fact it is just the opposite : energy increases as the frequency increases.
The relation is very simple; it's just e=hv where
The radiant energy increases as the frequency increase and the radiant energy decreases as the frequency decreases.
For electromagnetic radiation,c = speed of light = 3.0 x 108 m/s = frequency x wavelengthAs the frequency of light waves increase, the wavelength decreases. For electromagnetic radiation, the wavelength times the frequency equals the speed of light, c, which is 3.0 x 108 m/s. So, if the frequency increases, the wavelength will decrease, and if the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases.
Remember that for any wave, wavelength x frequency = speed (of the wave). So, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. Also, since the energy of a photon is proportional to the frequency, the energy will decrease as well in this case.
The energy PER PHOTON is directly proportional to the frequency.
Longer wavelength less energy and shorter wavelength equals more energy. This is because velocity (speed)=frequency x wavelength. And te velocity of all EM waves is the speed of light. we know the expression- frequency=speed of light(c)/wavelength Energy is given by- E=h*frequency=h*c/wavelength {h=Planck's constant} so,energy is directly proportional to frequency and inversly proportional to wavelength...that is energy increases with increase in frequency and decreases with increase in wavelength. example:-red color has more wavelength and hence has less energy.
The radiant energy increases as the frequency increase and the radiant energy decreases as the frequency decreases.
No. the wave length decreases as the frequency of an energy wave increases and vise versa. We acyually are learning thatin my 8th grade science class.
It will become longer, and it will carry less energy, its also likely, that if the change or loss in frequency is enough, the radiation will become a different type of electromagnetic radiation in the spectrum like gamma to x-rays or visible light to infrared and so on.
The energy increases as the frequency increases.The frequency decreases as the wavelength increases.So, the energy decreases as the wavelength increases.
For electromagnetic radiation,c = speed of light = 3.0 x 108 m/s = frequency x wavelengthAs the frequency of light waves increase, the wavelength decreases. For electromagnetic radiation, the wavelength times the frequency equals the speed of light, c, which is 3.0 x 108 m/s. So, if the frequency increases, the wavelength will decrease, and if the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases.
In Electromagnetic radiation when the wavelength increases the energy transmitted by the wave decreases. E=hf where h is a constant and f is the frequency.
Higher frequency increases the energy. Lower frequency decreases the energy.
Energy = hf where h is Planck's Constant and f is the radiation frequency.
Wavelength.
Remember that for any wave, wavelength x frequency = speed (of the wave). So, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. Also, since the energy of a photon is proportional to the frequency, the energy will decrease as well in this case.
As frequency increases the energy of a wave also increases.
Using this equation will help you understand what is going on: E=hc/wavelength h and c are constants. As wavelength increases, energy decreases. This is why UV radiation (which has a very small wavelength) has more energy than visible radiation, and this is also why UV radiation causes damage to living things
