Photoelectric Effects and deBroglie Equation: Practice Problem & Solution

The velocity of photons is proportional to (where $\upsilon$ = frequency) (1996)
$1/\upsilon$
$\upsilon^2$
$\upsilon^0$
$\sqrt{\upsilon}$

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Photoelectric Effects and deBroglie Equation. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

The velocity of a photon in vacuum is the speed of light ($c$), which is a constant and independent of its frequency. Thus, it is proportional to $\upsilon^0$.
