Answer:

2.7 x 10^-19 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula needed for this problem is

E = hν

where E = energy, h = Planck's constant = 6.626x10^-34 and ν is the frequency

c = λν

where c = speed of light = 3x10^8, and λ = wavelength

3x10^8 = 7.35x10^-7 . ν

ν = 4.08 x 10^14 Hz

E = 6.626x10^-34 . 4.08x10^14 = 2.7 x 10^-19 J
