The energy (E) of a photon is given by the equation:

E = hc/λ

Where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength of the photon.

Substituting the given values:

E = (6.63 × 10^-34 J⋅s x 3.00 × 10^8 m/s) / (0.00437 nm x 10^-9 m/nm)

E = 4.52 x 10^-12 J

Converting to eV:

E = 4.52 x 10^-12 J / (1.60 x 10^-19 J/eV) = 2.84 x 10^5 eV

Therefore, the answer is B) 2.84E+5 eV.
