NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electromagnetic radiation and photon behavior is correct?
The energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength.
Black bodies emit radiation uniformly across all wavelengths.
The intensity of radiation increases with temperature, reaching a maximum at a longer wavelength.
Photons can have energy values that depend solely on their frequency.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The energy of a photon is calculated using the equation E = hν, where ν is frequency. Since frequency and wavelength are inversely related, higher frequency corresponds to lower wavelength, thus making energy inversely proportional to wavelength. This aligns with the information presented in the context regarding photon energy.
