Photon Energy Using Frequency

A photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation (such as light) and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force. The energy of a photon depends only on its frequency.

The energy equals the Planck constant times the frequency.

Formula

QuantityVariable["E", "Energy"] == Quantity[1, "PlanckConstant"]*QuantityVariable["ν", "Frequency"]

symbol description physical quantity
E energy "Energy"
ν frequency "Frequency"
