Work Step by Step

The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and photon energy are as follows: $v\lambda=c$ $E=hv$ $E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ This means that wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional, photon energy and frequency are directly proportional and photon energy and wavelength are inversely proportional. The unit of $1$ Joule is $1\text{ J}=1\text{ kg}\cdot \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2$. A photon of energy $1$ J has enough energy to accelerate $1$ kg of mass at $1$ m/s$^2$ over $1$ meter.
