Can I only use planck's equation (E = hf) to measure the energy of a photon or can it also be used to measure the energy of an electron in an atom? F.e. if given the linespectrum of a light coming from a Na atom, what would be the meaning of the E calculated for each frequency?

It means that you've calculated the TOTAL ENERGY for that line spectrum. I think it's energy per minute, but I'm not sure. Gotta research
