The energy of a photon is given by E = hf. If the frequency is doubled, the energy
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. doubles
- Step 1: E is directly proportional to f. Answer: doubles. Why not the others: halves: Energy is proportional to frequency. quadruples: That would need a squared relation. stays the same: Energy depends on frequency.
