A)the same energy, the same frequency, and the same wavelength
B)the same energy, the same frequency, and a different wavelength
C)the same energy, a different frequency, and the same wavelength
D)a different energy, the same frequency, and the same wavelength

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During coherent scattering, the scattered photon possesses the same energy, frequency, and wavelength as the incident photon. This is because the scattering occurs due to the interaction between the photon and an atom or molecule, which does not involve a change in energy or frequency. Thus, the scattered photon retains its original characteristics.
