Question

Planck's constant relates the Joules of energy absorbed/released by matter to the:

A. atomic number of the element

B. observed wavelength of light

C. speed of light

D. mass of the particulate matter

Answer 1

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "B. observed wavelength of light" Planck's constant relates the Joules of energy absorbed/released by matter to the B. observed wavelength of light

Answer 2

Answer: B. observed wavelength of light

Explanation: The relation of Planck's constant relating the Joules of energy absorbed/released by matter is usually used to determine the energy of the photon. The mathematical expression is -

E= h c /
`\lambda`

Thus as we can observe that the energy is directly proportional to the speed of light and inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

Thus , we can say that Planck's constant relates the Joules of energy absorbed/released by matter to the observed wavelength of light.
