What characteristic of light quanta (photons) is directly proportional to their frequency?

**Photon energy** E = h f = h c/λ, momentum p = h/λ = E/c, power P = N E/t, N number of photons per second, wavelength λ = h c/E, for photon momentum 1.5×10⁻²⁷ kg·m/s frequency f = p c/h? Actually E = p c, f = E/h = p c/h =1.5×10⁻²⁷×3×10⁸/6.63×10⁻³⁴=6.79×10¹⁴ Hz, energy E= h f =4.5×10⁻¹⁹ J, for 5.0×10⁻¹⁹ J frequency f=E/h=7.54×10¹⁴ Hz. The energy of a photon is given by E = h v , making it directly proportional to frequency. Applying E = h f = h c/λ, p = h/λ, K_max = h f - Φ, Φ = h

Calculate the kinetic energy of an electron ejected from a metal with nu_0 = 5.0 × __10POW₁₄__Hz by light of nu = 7

Given: Calculate the kinetic energy of an electron ejected from a metal with nu_0 = 5.0 × __10POW₁₄__Hz by light of nu = 7.0 × __10POW₁₄__Hz. (h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J s) These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Kinetic energy = h(nu - nu_0) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × (7.0 × __10POW₁₄__- 5.0 × __10POW₁₄__) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 2.0 × __10POW₁₄__= 1.325 × 10⁻¹⁹ J.. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Substituting values like 1.2 × 10⁻⁵, 236 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, CH₃CH₂NH₂ etc. i
