Light as Particles
•
Light can also appear as particles, called
photons (explains, e.g., photoelectric effect).
•
A photon has a specific energy E,
proportional to the frequency f:
E = h*f
h = 6.626x10
-34
J*s
is the Planck constant.
The energy of a photon does
not
depend on the
intensity
of the light!!!
