As we learn

Planck’s Quantum Theory -

Atom and molecules could emit (or absorb) energy only in discrete quantities known as quanta and not in a continuous manner.

-

The energy of one quanta of light 

\mathrm{E= \frac{hc}{\lambda }= \frac{6.62\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.5\times10^{-7}} = 3.06\times10^{-19}J}
