Answer:

f = 0.94 ×10²⁴ Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of light = ?

Wavelength of light = 3.2 ×10⁻¹⁶ m

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

c = λ × f

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

3×10⁸ m/s = f × 3.2 ×10⁻¹⁶ m

f = 3×10⁸ m/s / 3.2 ×10⁻¹⁶ m

f = 0.94 ×10²⁴ s⁻¹

f = 0.94 ×10²⁴ Hz (Hz = s⁻¹)
