Answer:

The answer is


3.77 * {10}^(15) \: \: \: Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of the photon can be found by using the formula


f = (E)/(h) \\

where

E is the energy

f is the frequency

h is the Planck's constant which is

6.626 × 10-³⁴ Js

From the question

E = 2.50 × 10^-18 J

So we have


f = \frac{2.50 * {10}^( - 18) }{6.626 * {10}^( - 34) } \\

We have the final answer as


3.77 * {10}^(15) \: \: \: Hz

Hope this helps you
