Photon energy E = hν. For higher frequency light, photon energy is:
A. Lower
B. Same
C. Higher
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
E ∝ ν: higher frequency ⇒ higher photon energy. Gamma rays (high ν) more energetic than radio waves (low ν). Memory aid: 'E = hν; blue light photons more energetic than red'. Quantum physics relation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3 Report Error
The energy emitted by the Sun is primarily a result of:
A. Nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.
B. Radioactive decay of uranium.
C. Nuclear fission of heavy elements.
D. Chemical combustion of gases.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The Sun and other stars generate their immense energy through nuclear fusion. In the Sun's core, immense gravitational pressure and heat cause hydrogen nuclei (protons) to overcome electrostatic repulsion and fuse together to form helium nuclei. This fusion process releases vast amounts of energy according to Einstein's E=mc².
