Write the equation for the energy of a photon.
(N/A) The energy $E$ of a photon is given by the product of Planck's constant $h$ and the frequency of the radiation $\nu$.
The equation is: $E = h\nu$.
Alternatively,since $\nu = c/\lambda$,where $c$ is the speed of light and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,the equation can also be written as: $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$.
The equation is: $E = h\nu$.
Alternatively,since $\nu = c/\lambda$,where $c$ is the speed of light and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,the equation can also be written as: $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$.
