Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

[tex]E=h\nu =\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}[/tex]

where,

E = energy of photon = ?

h = Planck's constant = [tex]6.63\times 10^{-34}Js[/tex]

[tex]\nu [/tex] =- frequency of the wave

c = speed of light = [tex]3\times 10^8m/s[/tex]

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength of the radio wave photon

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the energy of the photons.

[tex]E=6.63\times 10^{-34}Js\times 1.255\times 10^6 s^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]E=8.316\times 10^{-28}J[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is option c.
