How is the energy of a photon related to its frequency and wavelength?

Answer 1

wavelength : wavelength is the distance from crest of one wave to the crest of next

frequency : the number of waves that passes a given point in one second

energy : the amplitude or intensity of a wave

energy and frequency is directly proportional to each other when energy is high frequency is also high

wavelength and frequency or energy is inversly proportional to each other when wavelength is high frequency or energy is low

Answer 2

A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.

Answer 3

No. For two reasons:

1- By amount of radiation, you mean Intensity, which is a variable for number of photons. So you can't increase intensity with just one photon;

2- The energy of a photon only depends on its frequency or wavelength.

Answer 4

The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency (and therefore also the energy) are inversely proportional to the wavelength (for any wave, frequency x wavelength = speed of the wave).

Answer 5

No. Photons in free space tend to all go the speed of light. The Quantum packages' frequency determines its' energy level.

Answer 6

The larger the wavelength of the photon, the lower the energy.

Answer 7

Photon's energy E=hf=hc/w where w is the wavelength, w=hc/E or wE=hc= constant = .2E-24 Joule meters.

Answer 8

It's frequency.

Answer 9

Yes
