The energy of a photon can be calculated using the equation:

E = hc/λ

Where: E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck's constant (6.62607015 x 10^-34 J·s), c is the speed of light in a vacuum (2.99792458 x 10^8 m/s), and λ is the wavelength of the light.

Plugging in the values, we can calculate the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 445 nm:

λ = 445 nm = 445 x 10^-9 m

E = (6.62607015 x 10^-34 J·s x 2.99792458 x 10^8 m/s) / (445 x 10^-9 m)

Simplifying the equation:

E ≈ 8.865 x 10^-19 Joules

Therefore, one photon of light with a wavelength of 445 nm has an energy of approximately 8.865 x 10^-19 Joules.
