Photon energy is the energy carried by a single light photon. Higher frequency (shorter wavelength) = more energy per photon. X-rays carry thousands of times more energy than visible light.

Trin-for-trin guide
- 1E = hf (Planck's equation)
- 2E = hc/λ (from wave equation c = fλ)
- 3h = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J·s; c = 3×10⁸ m/s
- 4Convert to eV: 1 eV = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J
