Answer

$E = 71~MeV$

Work Step by Step

We will use a single equation to find the energy in the apartment: $E = (photon~energy)(number~of~photons)(volume)$ $E = (h~f)(number~of~photons)(volume)$ $E = (6.626\times 10^{-34}~J~s)~(160\times 10^9~Hz)(450~cm^{-3})(10^6~cm^3/m^3)(95~m^2)(2.5~m)$ $E = 1.133046\times 10^{-11}~J$ $E = (1.133046\times 10^{-11}~J)(\frac{1~eV}{1.6\times 10^{-19}~J})$ $E = 7.1\times 10^7~eV$ $E = 71~MeV$
