The formula is given, so this is basically a plug and chug problem.

Given values:


\lambda=530*10^(-9)\text{ m}\\c=3.0*10^8\text{ m/s}

Plugging these values into the given equation, we get:


f=(c)/(\lambda) =\frac{3.0*10^8\text{ m/s}}{530*10^(-9)\text{ m}} =1.8265*10^(17){\text{ s}}^(-1)=1.8265*10^(17)\text{ Hz}

This is a 2 sig fig problem, so your final answer should be
1.8265*10^(17)\text{ Hz}.
