if you have nooo idea, try working with the units, which formula gives you energy units?

mayankdevnani · Answer

yup ! use DIMENSION ANALYSIS

Hint:
The unit of energy is $\sf Joules$
The unit of Planks Constant is $\sf\large m^2 \frac{kg}{s}$
The units of frequency is $\sf Hertz$ which is also equal to $\sf\large\frac{1}{s}$

Think of another way you can write the units of energy to find the correlation of it between Plank's consant and Frequency.
