Answer:

1.11 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the energy of the light, you need to use one of Einstein's equations:

E = hf

In this equation,

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

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

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

You can plug the constant and given value into the equation and solve for "E". The final answer should have 3 sig figs like the given value.

E = hf <----- Einstein's equation

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s)(1.68 x 10¹⁴ Hz) <----- Insert values

E = 1.11 x 10⁻¹⁹ J <----- Multiply
