![**Question 21 of 26**
A photon has a frequency of \(8.97 \times 10^8\) Hz. What is the energy of this photon in Joules? (Planck's constant, \(h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34}\) J·s)
---
**Explanation:**
To calculate the energy of a photon, we use the formula:
\[ E = h \times f \]
where \(E\) is the energy, \(h\) is Planck's constant (\(6.626 \times 10^{-34}\) J·s), and \(f\) is the frequency of the photon.
For this problem:
\[ E = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J·s} \times 8.97 \times 10^8 \, \text{Hz} \]
\[ E = 5.94 \times 10^{-25} \, \text{J} \]
---
**Interactive Features:**
- A numeric keypad is provided for user input.
- Options for entering positive or negative exponents.
- A clear button (C) for resetting inputs.
- A multiplication by 10 option for quick calculations.
