Question
the difference in energy between different forms of electromagnetic radiation is the result of changes in which two of the following? (select two)
wavelength
frequency
velocity
amplitude
The energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the formula $E = h
u$, where $h$ is Planck's constant and $
u$ is frequency. Also, $
u=\frac{c}{\lambda}$, where $c$ is the speed of light (constant for electromagnetic - radiation in a vacuum) and $\lambda$ is wavelength. So energy depends on frequency and wavelength. The velocity of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum is constant ($c = 3\times10^{8}\ m/s$), and amplitude is related to the intensity, not the energy per photon.
