The frequency of a photon that has an energy of 3.7 × 10^-¹⁸J is s^-¹. A) 5.6 × 10¹⁵ B) 1.8 × 10^-¹⁶ C) 2.5 × 10¹⁵ D) 5.4 × 10^-⁸ E) 2.5 × 10^-¹⁵

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of a photon can be calculated using the formula E = hν, where E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck's constant (6.626 × 10^-34 J·s), and ν is the frequency. Solving for ν gives ν = E/h = (3.7 × 10^-18 J) / (6.626 × 10^-34 J·s) ≈ 5.6 × 10^15 s^-1.
