The energy of a photon of frequency ν is given by:

Answer: hν.

  • A
  • B h divided by ν
  • C hν squared
  • D ν divided by h

Correct answer: A. hν

Explanation: Photon energy E = hν, where h is Planck’s constant.

In the photoelectric setup, light striking the metal plate ejects electrons that cross the evacuated tube to the collector, producing a measurable current on the ammeter.

Concept context

Photoelectric effect, de Broglie waves, Bohr's model, atomic spectra.
