Light frequency and photons

Postby Liliana Rosales 1E » Fri Apr 13, 2018 11:23 pm

Would someone be able to explain how light frequency relates to photons or if there is any relationship between these two concepts?

Increasing the frequency of light increases the energy each photon has. Due to the equation E = h * v, when v (frequency of light) increases, E (energy per photon) increases proportionally.

Thank you. This makes more sense now.
