Photon Energy and Frequency Calculations

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the frequency of a photon with an energy of 66 electron volts. It begins by introducing the problem and the possible frequency options. The tutorial then explains the formula E = hν and how to rearrange it to solve for frequency. The energy is converted from electron volts to joules, and the calculation is performed using Planck's constant. The final result is determined to be 16 x 10^15 Hz, which matches option C.
