From the definition of the electron volt, we know 1 eV = 1.60 × 10−19 J

E=3.33×10191.60×1019=2.08  eVλ=hcE=1.24×1062.08=596  nmE = \frac{3.33 \times 10^{-19}}{1.60 \times 10^{-19}} = 2.08 \;eV \\ λ = \frac{hc}{E} \\ = \frac{1.24 \times 10^{-6}}{2.08} = 596 \;nm

Visible light: λ=400−700 nm

Answer: It is visible.
