Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy of a photon is given by E = hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the wave. Substituting the given values, we get E = (6.626 x 10^-34 J s)(5.00 x 10^14 Hz) = 3.32 x 10^-19 J. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

The Frequency of a Particular Electromagnetic Wave Is 5
