The curve drawn between velocity and frequency of a photon in vacuum will be

A

Straight line passing through the origin and making an angle of `45^(@)` with the frequency axis

B

Straight line parallel to the frequency axis

C

Hyperbola

D

Straight line parallel to the velocity axis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In vacuum, the velocity of photons (light or e.m. waves), does not depend upon the frequency. It is equal to C. Hence it is a straight line parallel to the frequency axis.
