Best Answer

You need to know the photon's frequency or wavelength.

If you know the wavelength, divide the speed of light by the photon's wavelength

to find the frequency.

Once you have the photon's frequency, multiply that by Planck's Konstant.

The product is the photon's energy.

Could an atom emit one photon of blue light after absorbing only one photon of red light?

No, it could not. A blue photon carries more energy than a red photon, since the blue photon's frequency is higher. That means one red photon wouldn't deliver enough energy to the atom to give it the energy to emit a blue photon.
