Answer:


E=5.16* 10^(-19)\ J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of violet light,
f=7.79* 10^(14)\ Hz

We need to find the energy of a photon. The formula for the energy of a photon is given by :


E=hf\\\\E=6.63* 10^(-34)* 7.79* 10^(14)\\\\E=5.16* 10^(-19)\ J

So, the energy of a photon is equal to
5.16* 10^(-19)\ J.
