A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.17 × 1014 hz. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
-Dominant- [34]
Answer is: the energy of exactly one photon of this light is 4.75·10⁻¹⁹ J.
Photon energy equation: E = h·ν.
E - energy of one photon.
ν- frequency.
h - Planck's constant.
ν = 7.17·10¹⁴ Hz.
h = 6.63·10⁻³⁴ J·s.
E = 6.63·10⁻³⁴ J·s · 7.17·10¹⁴ Hz.
E = 4.75·10⁻¹⁹ J.
