Light can have a wavelength of 5.95e2nM. the energy of a photon of light is?
I think it is 5.95e-7 J , can someone help me?

E = hc/wavelength
E = 6.62 10^(-34) * 3 10^8/ 5.95 10^-7 = 3.34 10^(-19)J
i am qite sure

I just wanted to mention...yes wavelength and light is physics, but when it's in relation to photons we're talking about determining the emission spectra of different elements, Bohr's model, energy of orbitals, and such. THAT, my dear, is chemistry.
If you still want to argue it, tell me why at CALTECH they do this exact type of stuff in freshman chemistry classes.
Oh and Maussy's right, unless there was a typo in calculations.
