The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is doubled. What will happen to the energy of the photons of the new radiation ?

A

E is doubled

B

E becomes four times

C

E is halved

D

The energy will be `1//4^(th)` of the original energy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`E=hv=(hC)/(lambda)`
When `lambda` is doubled, E is halved.
