Question 28 • 26-27 LISD TX-Physics B-CR (rev. 5/25)

Which describes a relationship when calculating the energy of a photon?

Answer
A
The energy of the photon is directly proportional to frequency.
B
The energy of the photon is inversely proportional to frequency.
C
As the energy of the photon increases, Planck’s constant increases.
D
As the energy of the photon increases, Planck’s constant decreases.

Explanation

A photon’s energy is given by the equation E = hf, where E is energy, f is frequency, and h is Planck’s constant. Since Planck’s constant is fixed, increasing the frequency increases the photon’s energy proportionally. Therefore, energy is directly proportional to frequency, as choice A states.
