If the wave length of E.M radiation is doubled, what happens to the energy ot photon ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If the wave length of electromagnetic radiation is doubled, then energy will be halved because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength of electromagnetic waves.
`E=hv=hv//lambda implies E prop 1//lambda` (`because` hc is a constant)
