Question 8 • 25-26 TX-Physics B-CR

What is the energy of a photon with a frequency of 3.6 × 1015 Hz? Planck’s constant is 6.63 × 10–34 J•s.

Answer
A
1.8 × 10–49 J
B
2.4 × 10–19 J
C
1.8 × 10–18 J
D
2.4 × 10–18 J

Explanation

Use the photon energy formula E = hf, where h is Planck’s constant and f is frequency. Multiplying (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s)(3.6 × 10¹⁵ Hz) gives 23.868 × 10⁻¹⁹ J, or about 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁸ J. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁸ J.
