I have a question which was found on my Pre-lab

Q> State the equation that is used to determine the energy content of a packet of light of specific frequency.

Tried googling it,but couldn't find the answer.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Planck's Equation,
E = hv
Where E is the energy contained within the photon of light, h is Plank's constant, and v is the frequency of the light.

Planck's constant, h, = 6.626068 E-34 J s
 
Thanks man! :)
