Determining the energy relationship between light photons of different wavelengths and a comparison of results
The energy associated with a photon of light (E) can be described as directly proportional to its frequency (f ) by (1) below
E = h*f (1)
Where h is the constant of proportionality known as "planks constant" = 6.626 x 10^-34 J.s
We also know that the velocity light (c) can be shown to be the product of frequency (f ) and wavelength (Lamda) as given by (2)
c = Lamda*f (2)
Rearranging (2) in terms of ...
