Do you know the shells involved in the electron movement. If so, then
E = 3.18 x 10^18 J [(1/n<sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup>) - (1/n<sub>2</sub><sup>2</sup>)]
E = 3.18 x 10^18 J [(1/n<sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup>) - (1/n<sub>2</sub><sup>2</sup>)]

typo.
That 3.18 x 10^18 should be
2.18 x 10^-18
The answer is in units of Joules/photon. That is for one transition of one electron.
