Answer to Question #88978 in General Chemistry for Corina

Question

Calculate the photon energy of a radio transmission with a frequency of 93.9 MHz.

Answer 1

$E=h\nu$

E - photon energy, J

h - Planck's constant, $h \approx 6.626 \cdot 10^{-34} \; J \cdot s$

$\nu$ - frequency, Hz

$E=6.626 \cdot 10^{-34} \cdot 93.9 \cdot 10^6 \approx 6.22 \cdot 10^{-26} \; J$

Answer: $6.22 \cdot 10^{-26} \; J$
