Question

What is the energy of a quantum/photon that has a frequency of 1.05 x 10^16 Hz?

A) 3.51 x 10^-25 J
B) 6.63 x 10^-34 J
C) 1.05 x 10^16 J
D) 2.0 x 10^8 J

Answer 1

The energy of a photon with a frequency of 1.05 x 10^16 Hz is 6.9573 × 10^-18 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy of a quantum or photon can be calculated using the equation E = hf, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant (6.626 × 10^-34 J·s), and f is the frequency of the photon. To find the energy of a photon with a frequency of 1.05 x 10^16 Hz, we can substitute the values into the equation:

E = (6.626 × 10^-34 J·s)(1.05 x 10^16 Hz) = 6.9573 × 10^-18 J

Therefore, the correct answer is A) 6.9573 × 10^-18 J.
