Answer:

13.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the wavelength, you need to use the following equation:

c = λ · f

In this equation,

-----> c = speed of light (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s)

-----> λ = wavelength (m)

-----> f = frequency (Hz)

You can plug the given values (speed of light and frequency) into the equation and then solve for "λ".

c = λ · f <----- Equation

(3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) = λ · (2.20 x 10⁷ Hz) <----- Insert values

13.6 = λ <----- Divide both sides by 2.20 x 10⁷
