Hello!

Find the Energy of the Photon by Planck's Equation, given:

E (photon energy) =? (in Joule)

h (Planck's constant) =
6.626*10^(-34)\:J * s

f (radiation frequency) =
8*10^(12)\:Hz

Therefore, we have:


E = h*f


E = 6.626*10^(-34)*8*10^(12)


E = 53.008*10^(-34+12)


E = 53.008*10^(-22)


\boxed{\boxed{E = 5.3008*10^(-21)\:Joule}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
