Document Summary

1: wavelength is 1 meter long (distance from crest to crest); amplitude is 0. 25 meter high (one-half the distance from crest to trough); frequency is 0. 5 hertz (6 waves in 12 seconds. Red light"s frequency is less than green light"s frequency. v = f l v = 3 hz v = 3(cid:9)m/s (cid:9)(cid:9) ) 1 m: the energy of a photon is directly proportional to the frequency and inversely proportional to the wavelength (see the answer to question #2), quantized means that the quantity can only exist in discrete units. For example, eggs in a box are quantized. You can take out 1 egg, 2 eggs, 3 eggs, etc. But, you cannot take out one- half egg, one and one-half eggs. You can try but you won"t have an egg; you"ll have a mess: electromagnetic waves do not need matter to travel in.
