Answer:

B. 2.14 x 10^-19 J

Explanation:

The energy of a wave of light can be obtained using the equation:

E = h*c/λ

Where E is the energy in joules,

λ is wavelength = 930nm = 930x10⁻⁹m

h = Planck's constant = 6.626x10⁻³⁴Js

c = Speed of light = 3.00x10⁸m/s

Replacing:

E = 6.626x10⁻³⁴Js*3.00x10⁸m/s/930x10⁻⁹m

E = 2.14x10⁻¹⁹J
