Answer:

The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Energy of photon = 5×10⁻¹⁹ J

Frequency of photon = ?

Solution:

Formula;

E = hf

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

5×10⁻¹⁹ J = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×f

f = 5×10⁻¹⁹ J / 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

f = 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹

The frequency of photon is 0.75×10¹⁵ s⁻¹.
