SUMMARY
The formula E=nhf defines the energy of photons, where "n" represents the number of photons. This interpretation is established when E, h (Planck's constant), and f (frequency) are understood in their conventional contexts. The discussion confirms that "n" does not refer to energy levels but specifically quantifies the number of photons involved in the energy calculation.
