Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

energy for photon is calculated in same wasy as for electromagnetic radiation

energy for electromagnetic radiation = hf

where f is the frequency of photon

h is Planck's constant = h = 4.14 × 10−15 eV · s.

thus

energy of photon = 4.14 × 10−15 eV · s * 2.36 x 10-19 Hz

energy of photon = 9.77 * 10−(-15+ -19) eV

energy of photon = 9.77 * 10−34eV answer
