Answer #1
opps, division sign disappeared.


energy= 1.76E3*1E3/ avagradros number to get energy in joules/electron

Answer #2
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
