Assertion: The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency.
Reasoning: According to Planck's quantum theory, the energy of a photon is given by the equation ,where h is Planck's
constant and f is the frequency of the photon.
Both Assertion and Reasoning are true, and Reasoning is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reasoning are true, but Reasoning is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Assertion is true, but Reasoning is false.
Assertion is false, but Reasoning is true.
The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. This is based on Planck's quantum theory, which states that the energy of a photon is given by the equation , where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon. This means that as the frequency of a photon increases, its energy also increases proportionally. Therefore, Assertion is true. Reasoning correctly explains why the Assertion is true.
