Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the energy of photon can be determined by the formula that is

E=hf where h is plancks constant and its value is 6.63*10^-34 j.s and f is the frequency of photon to find out the frequency we have to divide the energy of photon by plancks constant

f=E/h

Answer:

We can calculate the energy of a photon in two ways. If you already know the frequency, f, of the photon in Hz, then use E = hf. Another form of Planck's equation uses the simple relationship that c = λ f, where λ is the wavelength of the photon

hope this helped good luck!
