As we learnt in 

The energy (E) of a quantum of radiation -

E=hv

Where h is plank’s constant and \nu is frequency

-

 

Energy\:of\:one\:photon = \frac{242 \times 10^3}{ 6.02 \times 10^23} = E

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

\lambda = \frac{hc}{E} = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8 \times 6.02 \times 10^23}{242 \times 10^3}

\lambda = 4.94 \times 10^{-7} = 494 nm
