The minimum energy required to break the oxygen-oxygen bond in O2 is 495kJ/mol. What is the longest wavelength of radiation that possesses the necessary energy to break the O--O bond? What type of electromagnetic radiation is this?
Please hlep me with this. I know that you have to convert energy to wavelength, but i don't know how or what ot do to convert to a single instead of a bond.

E=hc/lamda. This is the equation that you need to use. Then once you have the wavelength, you just look on a chart to see what kind of radiation it corresponds to. For example if it is in the 400-800nm range it would be visible light.
I think you are trying to make the problem more complicated than it is.
