Question 1 Report

The energy of light of frequency 2.0 x 1015 15 Hz is  (h = 6.63 x 10−34 − 34 Js)
Answer Details

To determine the energy of light given its frequency, we can utilize the formula:


E = h × f


Where:

E is the energy of the photon in joules (J)

h is Planck's constant, approximately 6.63 × 10-34 J·s

f is the frequency of light in hertz (Hz)


Given the frequency f = 2.0 × 1015 Hz, we can substitute the known values into our equation:


E = 6.63 × 10-34 J·s × 2.0 × 1015 Hz


To simplify the calculation, multiply the numerical parts and then add the indices of 10:


E = (6.63 × 2.0) × (10-34 × 1015)


E = 13.26 × 10-19 J


This can be approximated to 1.33 × 10-18 J. Thus, the energy of light with the given frequency is 1.33 × 10-18 J.
