SUMMARY
The energy of a mole of photons at a wavelength of 522nm, corresponding to green light, can be calculated using the formula E=hν, where h is Planck's constant. To find the energy of one photon, the frequency must first be derived from the wavelength using the equation ν=c/λ, with c representing the speed of light. After determining the energy of a single photon, multiplying by Avogadro's number provides the total energy for a mole of photons.
