Answer:

frequency of light (f) = 1 x 10¹⁵s⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Wavelength of light λ = 3.0 x10⁻⁷m

Frequency of light: to be calculated

Formula Used to find frequency:

f = V/λ ........................... (1)

where

f is the frequency

V is the velocity

λ is wavelength

Velocity of light = 3 x 10⁸ ms⁻¹

put the values in equation (1)

f = 3 x 10⁸ ms⁻¹ / 3.0 x10⁻⁷m

f = 1 x 10¹⁵s⁻¹

So the frequency of light = 1 x 10¹⁵s⁻¹
