Answer:

Option B. 4.25×10¯¹⁹ J

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Frequency (f) = 6.42×10¹⁴ Hz

Energy (E) =?

Energy and frequency are related by the following equation:

Energy (E) = Planck's constant (h) × frequency (f)

E = hf

With the above formula, we can obtain the energy of the photon as follow:

Frequency (f) = 6.42×10¹⁴ Hz

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Energy (E) =?

E = hf

E = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × 6.42×10¹⁴

E = 4.25×10¯¹⁹ J

Thus, the energy of the photon is 4.25×10¯¹⁹ J
