    E = hc / (lamda)

    The lamda symbol is wavelength, which this site does not have. I can represent it with an "x" instead.

    Plancks constant, h = 6.626*10^-32 J·s

    Speed of light, c = 3.00*10^8 m/s

    The energy must be greater than or equal to 1*10^-18 J

    1*10^-18 J ≤ (6.626*10^-32 J·s) * (3.0*10^8 m/s) / x

    x ≤ (6.626*10^-32 J·s) * (3.0*10^8 m/s) / (1*10^-18 J)

    x ≤ 1.99*10^-7 m or 199 nm

    The wavelength of light must be greater than or equal to 199 nm
