Final answer:

The approximate energy of the photon is calculated using the formula E = hf and is found to be closest to 3.0E-19 Joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy of a photon can be calculated using the formula E = hf, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the photon. Given Planck's constant as 6.63E-34 J s and using the frequency provided, we can calculate the energy.

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:

E = (6.63 × 10-34 J s) × (4.8 × 1014 Hz) = 3.18E-19 Joules

The closest approximate energy of the photon among the given options is therefore 3.0E-19 Joules.
