Which photon is more energetic: A red one or a violet one?(a) Both(b) Red(c) Violet(d) NeitherI have been asked this question in an interview for internship.Question is from Photoelectric Effect in section Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (C) Violet

To explain: Violet photon has more energy because the energy of a photon is GIVEN as:

E = hv

Since energy is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to wavelength, i.e. vvoilet > vred, the violet photon is more energetic than the red photon.
