Question
as the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, the amount of energy in that wave... stays the same. increases. decreases.
Brief Explanations
The energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency. The formula for the energy of a photon (a quantum of electromagnetic radiation) is \(E = h
u\), where \(E\) is energy, \(h\) is Planck's constant (\(h = 6.626\times10^{-34}\space J\cdot s\)), and \(
u\) is the frequency of the wave. Since \(h\) is a constant, when \(
u\) (frequency) increases, \(E\) (energy) must increase as well.
