E=hv

[Lauryn Shinno 2H]

In the equation E=hv, I know E stands for energy, but specifically what energy? Like threshold energy or energy of the photons?

[Samantha Ito 2E]

E stands for energy per photon.

[Tony Chung 2I]

The equation tells us that E is the energy of light, which is also called a photon.

[Abhi4F]

In this equation, E is the energy of light (photons) in Joules.

[Soyoung Park 1H]

What does a photon of energy mean?

[LorenzoDuvergne3I]

What does a photon of energy mean?

A photon is the smallest measurable unit of electromagnetic energy (light)

[daniela3D]

Keep in mind that a photon is always positive.

[Tamera Scott 1G]

I've also seen E=hf once, does anyone know if that is the same as E=hv?

I've also seen E=hf once, does anyone know if that is the same as E=hv?

v is frequency, so I believe f would just be another way to denote frequency.

[Brian Chang 2H]

E is the energy of light, which is measured in photons. A photon is the quantum of electromagnetic radiation.

[Danny Zhang 4L]

I've also seen E=hf once, does anyone know if that is the same as E=hv?

I believe that f and v both symbolize frequency. I think that v is just more commonly used in chemistry while f is more preferred in physics.

[Xingzheng Sun 2K]

Since electromagnetic radiation acts like particles, E in this equation stands for the energy per photon.

[Zubair Ahmed 1L]

yes, E represents the amount of energy per photon. The units for E is Joules.

[Noh_Jasmine_1J]

I've also seen E=hf once, does anyone know if that is the same as E=hv?

v is the symbol for frequency, so both equations are equivalent
