Question

Planck's constant relates the energy in one photon of electromagnetic radiation to the frequency of the radiation, varying:

directly

inversely

indirectly

randomly

Answer 1

The answer is inversely

Answer 2

Option (b) "inversely

"

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by :

`E=(hc)/(\lambda)`

Where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

`\lambda` is the wavelength

Or it can be written as :

`E=h\\u`.....(1)

`\\u` is the frequency.

Equation (1) can be rearranged as :

`h=(E)/(\\u)`

So, it is clear that Planck's constant relates the energy in one photon of electromagnetic radiation is inversely proportional to the frequency of the radiation. Hence, the correct option is (b) "inversely".
