Question

Which statement best describes the relationship between the frequency and energy of light?

A) the lower the frequency the greater the energy of light. B) more information is needed since there is an additional term (h) in the equation relating frequency and energy. C) the higher the frequency the lower the energy of light. D) the higher the frequency the greater the energy of light.

Answer 1

D) the higher the frequency the greater the energy of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy and frequency of light are directly connected. The higher the frequency ,the greater the energy of light.

As frequency increases, the energy of light also increases.

• Frequency is the number of photons that passes through a point at a period of time.
• The more the the photons, the more energy light carries.

Mathematically;

Energy = hf

h is planck's constant

f is the frequency.
