Answer:

8.15 x 10¹⁴Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Energy of photon = 5.4 x 10⁻¹⁹J

h = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴J.s

Unknown:

Frequency of the photon = ?

Solution:

The energy of a photon is given as;

E = hf

h is the Planck's constant

f is the frequency

f =
(E)/(h) =
(5.4 x 10^(-19) )/(6.626 x 10^(-34) ) = 8.15 x 10¹⁴Hz
