Explain the quantum theory to me.. I don't get the equation E=hf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

E=h*frequency

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does it mean though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did that equation answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The energy of a photon is dependent on its frequency. Also, \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\] So, the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The photon is the particle nature of light, but its energy is dependent on the light wave.
