Class 12 Physics simulations · Electromagnetic Waves

Photon energy across the spectrum

Pick a frequency and read the energy carried by each photon.

Open the simulation

What to notice

Higher-frequency light carries more energy per photon.

Key relation

E = hf

Try this

Move from radio to X-rays and watch the energy soar.

What you can change

• Frequency power of ten: 6 to 20 log₁₀(Hz)
