Photon model and key equations

Photon model and key equations

Light can transfer energy in discrete packets called photons. The energy of one photon is E=hfE=hfE=hf, so frequency decides the energy carried by each photon.

  3. /Photons, photoelectric effect and line spectra

Step-by-step lessons covering Edexcel A Level Physics Photons, photoelectric effect and line spectra for A Level Physics. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 format. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks across the three papers require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
