The magnitude of which of the following is proportional to the frequency of the wave?(a) Electrons(b) Neutrons(c) Photons(d) ProtonsThe question was posed to me in homework.I need to ask this question from Wave Nature of Matter topic in section Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer» RIGHT option is (c) PHOTONS

The explanation: The energy conveyed by an electromagnetic wave is ALWAYS carried in packets whose magnitude is PROPORTIONAL to the FREQUENCY of the wave. These packets of energy are known as photons. The energy of a photon is given as:

E = hv

Where h is the Planck’s constant and v is the frequency of the wave.
