Sample Question 1
Nuclear & Quantum Physics
EASY • Physics (Secondary & College Level)
What is the energy E of a photon of light with frequency f according to Planck's Quantum Theory?
A
E = h * f
B
E = h / f
C
E = f / h
D
E = 1/2 h * f²
✓ Correct Answer: A - E = h * f
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Planck's equation states that photon energy is quantized as E = hf, where h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J s).
Sample Question 2

MEDIUM • Physics (Secondary & College Level)
In the Photoelectric Effect, what happens to the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons when the frequency of incident light is increased above the threshold frequency?
A
It increases linearly with incident frequency
B
It remains constant while electron count increases
C
It decreases exponentially
D
It drops to zero
✓ Correct Answer: A - It increases linearly with incident frequency
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Einstein's photoelectric equation (KE_max = hf - Phi) shows that kinetic energy increases linearly with photon frequency.
Sample Question 3
Nuclear & Quantum Physics
EASY • Physics (Secondary & College Level)
What is the half-life t_1/2 of a radioactive isotope with decay constant lambda?
A
t_1/2 = ln(2) / lambda ≈ 0.693 / lambda
B
t_1/2 = lambda / 0.693
C
t_1/2 = 1 / lambda²
