    For light or ultraviolet, the formula for energy can be calculated using Planck’s equation. That is:

    E = h c / ʎ

    where,

    h is the Planck’s constant = 6.626 * 10^-34 m^2 kg / s

    c is the speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/s

    ʎ is the wavelength of light = 110 nm = 110 x 10^-9 m

    So calculating for energy E:

    E = (6.626 * 10^-34 m^2 kg / s) * (3 * 10^8 m/s) / (110 x 10^-9 m)

    E = 1.807 x 10^-18 J
