Calculate the energy of a photon of green light. Pretty sure this is more of a physics question, but it's in my chemistry class so I'll ask here first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmmm... what do you think it is before i help?

OpenStudy (gitface):

Frequency of green light is\[6.00\times10^{14}s ^{-1}\] I calculated a value of \[E = 3.76\times10^{-19}J\] using the equation \[E = hv\] where; h=Planck's Constant = 6.262*10^-34 J s v = frequency of green light Using the right equation for sure. My online chem is telling me I have this wrong.

OpenStudy (gitface):

Aww crap, figured it out. Using hte wrong value for Planck's constant. 6.626, not 6.262.
