To break the oxygen-oxygen bonds in a single o2 molecule, 1 × 10–18 j of energy is required. which of the following wavelengths of light could be used to carry out this process?

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
