Solution

  1. In the formula, E=hv, E is the energy of the photon, v is the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation, and his the Planck's constant.
  2. The Planck constant (h) is a proportionality constant that correlates the energy (E) of a photon to the frequency (v) of the electromagnetic wave that it is linked to.
  3. This equation is used to calculate the energy of a photon of light traveling at a specified speed.
