Question

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.03 × 1014 Hz. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?

Answer 1

4.66 x 10^-19 Joules The energy of a photon is E=hf Where E = Energy h = Planck's constant (6.62607004Ă—10â’34 J s) f = frequency of photon. So plug in the known values E = 6.62607004Ă—10â’34 J s * 7.03 x 10^14 1/s E = 4.65812724x10^-19 J Since we only have 3 significant figures, the rounded result is E = 4.66x10^-19 J
