Answer:

521 nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming 5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ =
(3*10^8(m)/(s) )/(5.76*10^(14)Hz) = {5.20833*10^(-7) m}\approx{521 *10^(-9)m}={521 nm}
