=5.227*10^-19J=5.2271019J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is equal to (hc)/lambdahcλ, where hh is Planck's constant, cc is the speed of light, and lambdaλ is the wavelength in meters.

So here we have:
h=6.626*10^-34 m ^2kgs^-1h=6.6261034m2kgs1
c=299 792 458ms^-1c=299792458ms1
lambda=380*10^-9mλ=380109m

So input:
(6.626*10^-34*299 792 458)/(380*10^-9)6.6261034299792458380109

=5.227*10^-19J=5.2271019J
