What is the period (time) that corresponds to oscillatory motion with a frequency of 23.4 Hz when the speed of light is 3.0×10^8 m/s.

"Period" and "frequency" of waves and oscillations are simple reciprocals. They're not related to the wavelength or speed.

Period = 1 / frequency

Period = 1 / 23.4 Hz

Period = 0.043 second
