Energy directly proportional to frequency

[daNAV1GATOR]

VERY SIMPLE! Please help! - Energy of a gamma ray photon...

Homework Statement

The frequency of gamma radiation is 10[tex]^{22}[/tex] Hz. What is the energy of each gamma ray photon?
Planck's constant, h, is equal to 6.6 x 10[tex]^{-34}[/tex] J*s.

Homework Equations

Energy = hf

The Attempt at a Solution

I'm having a problem with the units...

Energy = (6.6 x 10[tex]^{-34}[/tex] J*s)(10[tex]^{22}[/tex] Hz)
= (6.6 x 10[tex]^{-34}[/tex] J*s)(10[tex]^{22}[/tex] vib/s)
= (6.6 x 10[tex]^{-34}[/tex] J)(10[tex]^{22}[/tex] vib)
= 6.6 x 10[tex]^{-12}[/tex] J

What happens to the 'vibration' unit?
(note: I changed the Hz to vib/s. Is that correct?)

Hz = 1/sec

J*sec*Hz = (J*sec)/sec = J (Energy)

Thank you!

Well a vibration per second is the same as just saying [itex]s^{-1}[/itex] I guess...why? Not too sure.
