25. Energy is proportional to Frequency E = h * ν Energy: Joules, E Planck’s constant: 6.626 * 10 -34 Joule-sec Frequency: oscillations per second (Hz), ν [nu]

26. Frequency * Wavelength = Speed of Light ν * λ = c Frequency: oscillations per second (Hz), ν [nu] Wavelength: distance between crests (m), λ [lambda] Speed of Light: 300,000 km/s = 186,000 mi/s, c
