1 answer

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)
f is the frequency of the photon

Substituting the given values:

E = (6.626 x 10^-34 J·s)(5.11 x 10^14 Hz)

E = 3.38186 x 10^-19 J

Therefore, the energy of the photon is 3.38186 x 10^-19 J.
