Atomic Structure Photon Energy and Wavelength

1

Choose the best answer

Radiation of wavelength 8000 Å has energy E₁, while radiation of wavelength 16000 Å has energy E₂. Which relation is correct?

Verified Answer & Explanation⌄

Correct Answer: B) E₁ = 2E₂

Concept Explanation

Photon energy: E = hc/λ Therefore, E ∝ 1/λ. Since 16000 Å is twice 8000 Å: E₁ = 2E₂.
