Photon energy
is proportional to its
frequency
:
e
n
er
g
y
=
(
pl
an
c
k
s
co
n
s
t
an
t
)
∗
(
f
re
q
u
e
n
cy
)
(1)
or with common weird variables:
E
=
h
∗
ν
(2)
This only makes sense if the
photon
exists, there is no classical analogue, because the
energy
of classical
waves
depends only on their
amplitude
, not
frequency
.
Experiments
that suggest this:
photoelectric effect
Compton scattering
