Understanding the Relationship
* Energy and Frequency: The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. This relationship is described by Planck's equation:
E = h * f
Where:
* E = energy of the photon (in Joules)
* h = Planck's constant (approximately 6.63 x 10^-34 J*s)
* f = frequency of the photon (in Hertz)
Calculation
1. Rearrange the equation to solve for frequency:
f = E / h
2. Plug in the given values:
f = (6.80 x 10^-25 J) / (6.63 x 10^-34 J*s)
3. Calculate the frequency:
f ≈ 1.03 x 10^9 Hz
Answer: The frequency of a radar photon with an energy of 6.80 x 10^-25 J is approximately 1.03 x 10^9 Hz.
