Which of the following is not a characteristic of planck's quantum theory of radiation ?

Options

A. The energy is not absorbed or emitted in whole number multiple of a quantum
B. Electromagnetic radiation is associated with energy
C. Radiation energy is not emitted or absorbed continuously but in the form of small packets called photons
D. This magnitude of energy associated with a quantum is proportional to the frequency of radiation

Answer

A

Explanation

Planck’s law is suggestive of the fact that energy absorbed or released by mode of radiation is always in the form of multiples of a quantum of light. Such a quantum of light is a discrete energy packet and called a photon.E=nhv where n=1,2,3…….
