QUESTION 24

What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?

A. They are directly related.

B. None of these answers are correct; photons carry gamma-rays and x-rays, not light.

C. They are inversely related.

D. The relationship differs depending on the color of light.

E. They are unrelated; all photons carry the same amount of energy irrespective of wavelength.

The electromagnetic waves that light emit are called that implies that it is a synchronized and continuous oscillation of an electric and magnetic fields. Light is also thought to be a particle and is made up of photons. Both of these are displayed simultaneously by light and it is thought to possess two natures.

24) Option C is the solution

The wavelength of light is ininversely proportional to the amount of energy per photon.
Energy is lower in photons whose wavelength is longer than the wavelength, and vice versa.
The frequency of light is directly related to how much energy each photon produces. This means that the frequency is higher, which in turn is higher energy.
