Its energy : 1.193 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Further explanation

Radiation energy is absorbed by photons

The energy in one photon can be formulated as


\large{\boxed{\bold{E\:=\:h\:.\:f}}}

Where

h = Planck's constant (6,626.10⁻³⁴ Js)

f = Frequency of electromagnetic waves

f = c / λ

c = speed of light

= 3.10⁸

λ = wavelength


\tt E=6.626* 10^(-34)* 1.8* 10^(14)\\\\E=1.193* 10^(-19)~J
