What is the energy in joule of a photon of light with wavelength 4.0xx10^3 nm ?

In a two-slit experiment using monochromatic light, fringes are observed on a screen at a distance from the slits. The screen is moved by 5 xx 10^-2 m towards the slits and the change in fringe width is found to be 3 xx 10^-5 m. The distance between the slits is 10^-3 m. Find the wavelength of the monochromatic light used.
