To calculate the energy of a photon, you can use the formula:

\[
E = h \cdot f
\]

where:
- \( E \) is the energy of the photon (in joules),
- \( h \) is Planck's constant (\(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J} \cdot \text{s}\)),
- \( f \) is the frequency of the light (in hertz).

Given that the frequency \( f = 6.5 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{s}^{-1} \) (which should actually have units of hertz, or \( \text{s}^{-1} \)), we can plug in the values:

\[
E = (6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J} \cdot \text{s}) \cdot (6.5 \times 10^{14} \, \text{s}^{-1})
\]

Now, calculate:

\[
E = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 6.5 \times 10^{14}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
E \approx 4.303 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}
\]

Therefore, the energy of the photon is approximately \( 4.30 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \).
