Explanation:
First, we convert the energy from eV to Joules:
[tex]2.90\:\text{eV}×\left(\dfrac{1.6×10{-19}\:J}{1\:\text{eV}} \right)[/tex]
[tex]= 4.64×10^{-19}\:\text{eV}[/tex]
We know from definition that
[tex]E=h\nu = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]
so the wavelength of the photon is
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{hc}{E} = 4.28×10^8\:\text{m}[/tex]
