According to the photon energy formula,quadrupling the frequency of the radiation from a monochromatic source will change the energy content of the individually radiated photons by what factor? A)1/4 B)1 D)4 E)4²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The photon energy formula is given as E=hf, where E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the radiation. If the frequency of the radiation is quadrupled, then the energy of the photon will also quadruple. Therefore, the factor by which the energy content of the individually radiated photons will change is 4. Hence, the correct answer is D.
