Trevon Reeves · Answer 1

The wave length and frequency of the pulse of light is the same of a single photon.

The energy will be the number of photons times the energy of a photon, i. e. 100e.

By the way, the energy of a photon is the product of the Planck's constant, h, times the frequency. This is not part of the question.

Antwan Hubbard · Answer 2

The wavelength and frequency remain the same while the energy is multiplies by the number of photons
