Correct Option: B

The energy of a photon can be calculated using the following formula:

E = hf

  • E is the energy of the photon
  • h is Planck's constant (6.63 x 10-34 Js)
  • f is the frequency of the light (2.0 x 1015 Hz)

Therefore:

E = (6.63 x 10-34 Js) * (2.0 x 1015 Hz)

E = 13.26 x 10-19 J ≈ 1.33 x 10-18 J
