Photon
energy is the energy carried by a single photon with a certain wavelength and
frequency. These terms are related by an equation.
E = hv
where h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x
10-34 J s), v is the frequency which is related to the wavelength by:
λv = c where λ is the wavelength and c is the speed of light (3.00 x
108 m/s)
Therefore, the energy equation
E = hc / λ
E = (6.626 x 10-34 J s)(3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / 0.0120 m = 1.657 x 10^-23 J
