The correct answer is: \( 4.80 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \)

Given for photons wavelength λ1=6000 A and energy E1=3.2×10-19 J and λ2=4000 A, let energy for second photons is E2.

We know energy of a photon is E=hcλ, then we can write 

E2E1=λ1λ2 or E2=λ1λ2×E1, using given data,

E2=60004000×3.2×10-19, on solving we get,

E2=4.80×10-19 J
