Finding the Energy of a Photon

This section is part of the HSC Physic syllabus Module 8: From the universe to the atom, Quantum Mechanical Nature of the Atom.

Here we will investigate how to find the energy of a photon.

Finding the energy of a photon

We can use the following equations to find the energy of a photon, examples of this can be found in the video below.

Energy E = \frac{hc}{\lambda }

Speed c = v{\lambda }
