The relationship between energy of a photon of light and its frequency is given by

Correct answer: C. Planck's Quantum theory

  • A. de-Broglie dual nature of matter
  • B. Bohr's model
  • C. Planck's Quantum theory
  • D. Rutherford's atomic model

Explanation

The relationship between the energy (E) of a photon of light and its frequency (ν) is given by Planck's Quantum theory and is expressed by the equation:E=h⋅νWhere:E is the energy of the photon,ℎ is Planck's constant (6.626×10−34 J⋅s6.626×10−34J⋅s),ν is the frequency of the light.This relationship is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics and was introduced by Max Planck in his quantum theory.

About Atomic Structure

Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
