Question

Consider the relationship between energy, frequency, and wavelength of light. The greater (higher) the energy of a photon, the

a. longer the wavelength and the higher the frequency.

b. shorter the wavelength and the higher the frequency.

c. shorter the wavelength and the lower the frequency.

d. longer the wavelength and lower the frequency

Expert Solution
Step 1

According Einestein energy equation E= hv

where E= energy, v = frequency

so energy directly proportional to the frequency 

frequency = light velocity/ wavelength 

so from this frequency indirectly proportional to the wavelength 

Energy =frequency/ wavelength 

energy directly proportional to frequency and indirectly proportional to wavelength
