What is the energy wavelenth used by ATP?

What do you mean by wavelength ? De Broglie wavelength ?
Well, since one molecule of ATP gives around 10^(-19)J upon hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate residue, we have :
[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]
so [tex]\lambda[/tex] is

around 2 microns, that's in the infrared photon region.
