A radio station emits radio waves at a frequence of 104.1 MHz. What is the energy, in joules, of each proton being transmitted by the radio station?

$$E=hf$, with $f=104.1\text{ MHz}=104.1\times 10^6 \text{ Hz}$ (SI units). (Recall that the prefix M (`mega') refers to $\times 10^6$).$

Whats your answer?

6.90x10^-26 J

If you use InteGrand's method subbing in the given value and Planck's Constant

-.-.... I was subbing planks constant as 2x10^(-7)

LOL

That's the magnetic field constant iirc
