Question

Calculate the energy of a photon of light with
a frequency of 5.109 × 1016 Hz.

Answer 1

Answer:

The energy of the photon is 1.718×10−26J.

Explanation:

The energy of the photon is

1.718 × 10 − 26J. You use the formula  E =$\frac{hc}{λ}$, where h is Planck's Constant,c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength of the photon.

E=$\frac{hc}{λ}$=$\frac{6.626×10−34J⋅ s×2.998×108m⋅s-1}{11.56m}$ = 1.718×10−26J.
