I found #6.4×10^-30m# but check my maths!

Explanation:

The energy #E# is given, from Einstein's formula, as:
#E=h*nu#
Where:
#h=6.63×10^-34Js# is Planck's constant;
#nu# is the frequency.
You can relate frequency and wavelength #lambda# through the speed of light #c# as:
#c=lambda*nu#
So finally you get:
#E=hc/(lambda)#
And:
#lambda=(hc)/E=(6.63×10^-34*3×10^8)/(3.097×10^4)=6.4×10^-30m#
