To calculate the energy of a photon, we can use the equation:
E = hf
Where E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J*s), and f is the frequency of the photon.
Substituting the given frequency (f = 5.11 x 10^14 Hz) into the equation, we have:
E = (6.626 x 10^-34 J*s)(5.11 x 10^14 Hz)
Multiplying the numbers together, we find:
E = 3.39 x 10^-19 J
Therefore, the energy of the photon is e) 3.39 x 10^-19 J.
