All you have to do to solve this problem is to use the equation that establishes a relationship between energy and wavelength

#E = h * c/(lamda)#, where

#lamda# - the wavelength of the photon;
#c# - the speed of light, usually given as #3 * 10^(8)"m/s"#;
#h# - Planck's constant, equal to #6.626 * 10^(-34)"J s"#

Plug the value given to you for the wavelength of the photon and solve for #E#

#E = (6.626 * 10^(-34)"J"cancel("s") * 3 * 10^(8)cancel("m")cancel("s"^(-1)))/(2.21cancel("m")) = color(green)(8.99 * 10^(-26)"J")#
