Photon Properties.

Photons

Electromagnetic radiation (like gamma rays, x-rays and visible light etc.) have wave properties and they can also behave as particles, these particles are called photons.

The energy (E) of a photon depends on its frequency (f).

E = energy of the photon in joules, Jh = the Plank constant 6.63 x 10-34Jsf = frequency in hertz, Hzc = speed of light 3.00 x 108 metres per second, ms-1l = wavelength in metres, m
