Answer:

A.) 3.3 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the energy using the following equation:

E = hf

In this equation,

-----> E = energy (J)

-----> h = Planck's Constant (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J*s)

-----> f = frequency (Hz)

Therefore, you can plug the given values into the equation and solve for "E".

E = hf <----- Equation

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J*s)(5.0 x 10¹⁵ Hz) <----- Insert values

E = 3.3 x 10⁻¹⁸ J <----- Multiply
