I could do with some help understanding this.
That einstein photon particle energy equation
E=hf
Considering the mimimum energy ( Planck energy ) set E = h
That means f=1
What? Is the f dimension in 1/sec? It can't be right. Why would the minimum (planck) frequency happen to be 1 per sec? It looks like f must be non dimemsional. But if f is non dimensional, how does the equation relate to the wave aspect of the photon?
For photons c= f * wavelength
Somethings wrong with my understanding. I've looked at wiki and that didn't help.
Once I've got this sorted, I eventually want to undestand the limitations the Planck constant sets on the wave aspect of photons.
Thanks
