Question

When we say that the energy of light emitted by a material is quantized, what does that say about how light is emitted (or absorbed) by a material?

1. the total energy emitted or absorbed is in multiples of a minimum energy that is determined by the intensity of the light

2. the total energy emitted or absorbed is in multiples of a minimum energy that is determined by the velocity of the light

3. the total energy emitted or absorbed is in multiples of a minimum energy that is determined by the frequency of the light

4. the total energy emitted or absorbed can take on any possible value

Explanation / Answer

3. the total energy emitted or absorbed is in multiples of a minimum energy that is determined by the frequency of the light
