Answer:

1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem, we have a microwave photon with wavelength

\lambda=12.2 cm=0.122 m

Substituting into the equation, we find its energy:

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.122 m}=1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J
