Exposure to a sufficient quantity of ultraviolet will redden the skin, producing erythema ?a sunburn. The amount of exposure necessary to produce this reddening depends on the wavelength. For a 1.0 cm2 patch of skin, 3.7 mJ of ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 254 nm will produce reddening; at 300 nm wavelength, 13 mJ are required.

What is the photon energy corresponding to the wavelength of 254 nm?
Part B
What is the photon energy corresponding to the wavelength of 300 nm?
Part C
How many total photons with the wavelength of 254 nm produce this reddening of the 1.0 cm2 of the skin?
Part D
How many total photons with the wavelength of 300 nm produce this reddening of the 1.0 cm2 of the skin?
