The equation for energy of a photon is E=hv where v equals frequency and h equals the Planck constant (6.626X10^-34). So since you've been given frequency you can just plug in frequency to find the total energy in joules.

E=(3.55X10^17)(6.626X10^-34)
E=2.35223X10^-16

Not sure how many significant figures you needed. Hope this helped.
