STANDARD Physics Energy of Photons MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
Compare the energies of two radiations E₁ with wavelength 800 nm and E₂ with wavelength 400 nm
A
E₁ = 2E₂
B
E₁ = E₂
C
E₂ = 2E₁
D
E₂ = −1/2E₁
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength (E = hc/λ). Since λ₂ = 400 nm is half of λ₁ = 800 nm, E₂ will be twice E₁, hence E₂ = 2E₁.
