Question

2. Calculate the energy in joules of a photon whose frequency is 7.55×1014 Hz.

Answer 1

The energy of a photon is given by
E = h × v

where:
E is the energy in joules/photon
'h' is the constant 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴
'v' is the frequency 7.55 × 10¹⁴

Substitute 'h' and 'v' into the formula we have

E = (6.63×10⁻³⁴) × (7.55×10¹⁴)
E = (6.63×7.55) × (10⁻³⁴ × 10¹⁴)
E = 50.0565 × 10⁽⁻³⁴⁺¹⁴⁾
E = 50 × 10⁻²⁰ joules/photon
