    For this problem we can use 2 equations.

    (1) - E = mC²

    E = Energy of photon (J)

    m = Mass of photon (kg) (1.67x10⁻²⁷ kg)

    C = speed of light (3 x 10⁸ m/s)

    (2) - E = hf

    E = Energy of photon (J)

    h = plank's constant (6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ J s)

    f = frequency of the photon (Hz)

    (1) = (2)

    hence, mC² = fh

    by rearranging,

    f = mC² / h

    f = 1.67x10⁻²⁷ kg * (3 x 10⁸ m/s) ² / (6.63 * 10⁻³⁴J s)

    f = 2.27 x 10²³ Hz
