isn't Planck's equation working?
Energy= plancksconstant*speedlight/wavelength
You will have to get energy per electron, or
energy= 1.76E3*1E3avagradros number to get energy in joules/electron
Energy= plancksconstant*speedlight/wavelength
You will have to get energy per electron, or
energy= 1.76E3*1E3avagradros number to get energy in joules/electron

opps, division sign disappeared.
\
energy= 1.76E3*1E3/ avagradros number to get energy in joules/electron
\
energy= 1.76E3*1E3/ avagradros number to get energy in joules/electron
