When a photon collides with an electron and gives it energy, what happens to the photon after bouncing from the electron?
a. |
the photon frequency remains the same. |
|
b. |
the photon wavelength decreases. |
|
c. |
the photon wavelength remains the same. |
|
d. |
the photon wavelength increases. |
|
e. |
the photon frequency increases. |
The energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency. When a photon is bounced from an electron, its energy is decreased. That is, the frequency also decreased.
Frequency is inversly proportional to the wavelength of photon. When frequency decreases, wavelength increases. Therefore, in this case, the wavelength increases.
Hence option d is the right answer.
