I have a question concerning photons from gamma decay.

They have very high frequencies, but is it also correct to say they have very high energy as well? And if so, how can you prove that with an equation?

>> No.3243554

I was thinking that gamma rays don't have higher energy than another photon because of the kinetic energy equation. Is this correct?

>> No.3243558

The energy of a photon is solely dependent on its frequency.

ah right.. I forgot about that equation.

No, I think he means

How about
E=\hbar\omega
