We can calculate energy by using following equation:

E = hc/ λ

h=6.626x10⁻³⁴Js

c=3x10⁸ms⁻¹

λ=656nm = 656x10⁻⁹m

1 gram of hydrogen atom is = 1 mol of hydrogen and it emits photons = 6.023x1023 photon

Energy of one photon (E) = (6.626x10⁻³⁴ x 3x10⁸) / (656x10⁻⁹m)

Energy of one mole photon (E) = (6.023x10²³ x 6.626x10⁻³⁴ x 3x10⁸) / (656x10⁻⁹m)

1.82x10⁵J = 182 kj
