According to the photon energy formula,tripling the frequency of the radiation from a monochromatic source will change the energy content of the individually radiated photons by what factor?
A)0.33
B)1.0
C)1.73
D)3.0

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the photon energy formula, E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. Tripling the frequency means multiplying it by 3, which would make the energy of each photon 3 times greater. Therefore, the energy content of each photon will change by a factor of 3, making the correct answer choice D.
