Question

Hi, I am working on quantum energy as it related to wavelength. I came across across a probelm (attached is a picture) and i did the calculation right. I got the numbers 3.97 for the solution, but i cannot figure out why it is equal to 397 nm and 3.97*10^-7 m. The conversions don't make sense me. 

because a photon is an atomic-level particle of radiant energy.
