Answer:

D. 1 × 10⁻⁴ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic waves travel through space with the speed of light which is approximately 3.0 ×10⁻⁸ m/s.

The speed is calculated as follows:

c=λf

Where λ is the wavelength of the wave, f the frequency and c the speed of light.

Thus λ=c/f

=(3×10⁸ m/s) / (3×10¹²Hz)

Wavelength, λ= 1 × 10⁻⁴ m
