I am curious as to how much energy a photon contains such as one with an extremely high wavelength such as a radio wave, this is the lowest energy photon i think, so for example would an extremely small radio wave be able to move a few atoms or molecules by using its energy.
thanks in advance.
 
The energy of a photon is always hf.
Calculate the energy and answer your own question.
