    The energy per photon can be calculated through this formula:

    E = hc/λ

    where

    h is Planck's constant = 6.626x10⁻³⁴ J·s

    c is the speed of light = 3x10⁸ m/s

    λ is the wavelength

    The wavelength is given to be 540 nm or also equivalent to 543x10⁻⁹ m.

    Substituting the values,

    E = (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J·s) (3x10⁸ m/s) / (543x10⁻⁹ m)

    E = 3.66x10⁻¹⁹ J/photon
