Question
Chapter 42, Problem 19SP
To determine
The change in energy of the photon if its frequency is doubled.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 19SP
Solution:
Theenergy will be doubled.
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The frequency of the photon is doubled.
Formula used:
Write the expression for the energy of a photon:
Here,
Explanation:
Recall the expression for the energy of a photon:
Consider it as the initial energy of the photon:
As the frequency of the photon is doubled, change the value of frequency to
Therefore, the updated energy of the photon is
Compare the initial and final energy of the photon:
Conclusion:
The energy of the photon is doubled.
