Answer:
3.97(10)^(-19)J

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy
E of a photon is given by:


E=h\\u (1)

Where:


h=6.626(10)^(-34)(m^(2)kg)/(s) is the Planck constant


\\u=6(10)^(14)s^(-1) is the frequency of green light

Solving (1):


E=(6.626(10)^(-34)(m^(2)kg)/(s))(6(10)^(14)s^(-1)) (2)


E=3.9756(10)^(-19)(m^(2)kg)/(s^(2))=3.9756(10)^(-19)J (3)
