About Tier 1 - Element
Focused around one main idea or observation.
Difficulty describes the challenge, not the solver. It is a Society guide rather than a formal academic level.
The tier is a Society guide to the amount of reasoning, technical work and insight a problem is expected to require. Your experience may vary depending on the topic and your background.
Twice the Frequency, Twice the Photon?
Quantum Physics / Photon Energy - 2 min
An individual photon has energy and frequency , related by the equation below. Here is Planck's constant:
Compare two photons measured in the same reference frame. The second has twice the frequency of the first: . What is the energy ratio ?
Assumptions
Compare individual photons in the same reference frame. Planck's constant is unchanged; this is not a comparison of beam intensity or photon number.
