    A photon is characterized by either a wavelength, denoted by Î" or equivalently an energy, denoted by E. There is an inverse relationship between the energy of a photon (E) and the wavelength of the light (Î") given by the equation: E=hc/Î" E=hc/Î" where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light. The value of these and other commonly used constants is given in the constants page. h = 6.626 Ă - 10 - 34 joule·s c = 2.998 Ă - 108 m/s By multiplying to get a single expression, hc = 1.99 Ă - 10-25 joules-m E=hc/Î" (6.626*10^-34 J*s) x (2.998Ă-10^8m/s) / 1.5*10^-8 m = 1.32*10^-17 J
