Question

Which of the following is not the characteristics of Planck's quantum theory of radiation?

• A. The energy is not absorbed or emitted in whole numbers or multiple of quantum.
• B. Radiation is associated with energy.
• C. Radiation energy is not emitted or absorbed continuously, but in the form of small packets called quanta.
• D. The magnitude of energy associated with a quantum is proportional to the frequency.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The energy is not absorbed or emitted in whole numbers or multiple of quantum.

Following are the characteristics of Planck's quantum theory of radiation -

$\left(a\right)$ The energy is absorbed or emitted in whole numbers or multiple of quantum.

$\left(b\right)$ Radiation is associated with energy.

$\left(c\right)$ Radiation energy is not emitted or absorbed continuously, but in the form of small packets called quanta.

$\left(d\right)$ The magnitude of energy associated with a quantum is proportional to the frequency.

Hence, option $\left(A\right)$ is the correct answer.
