Wavelength = 2.25nm = 2.25 x 10^(-9)m

Frequency = 1.33 x 10^17Hz

Speed = 2.25 x 10^(-9) x 1.33 x 10^17 = 2.99 x 10^8m/s

So the answer is: 2.99 x 10^8m/s

Answer : The speed of electromagnetic wave is
2.99* 10^(8)m/s

Explanation : Given,

Frequency of wave =
1.33* 10^(17)Hz=1.33* 10^(17)s^(-1)

Wavelength of wave =
2.25nm=2.25* 10^(-9)m

Formula used :


\\u=(c)/(\lambda)

where,


\\u = frequency of light


\lambda = wavelength of light

c = speed of electromagnetic wave = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:


1.33* 10^(17)s^(-1)=(c)/(2.25* 10^(-9)m)


c=(1.33* 10^(17)s^(-1))* (2.25* 10^(-9)m)


c=2.99* 10^(8)m/s

Therefore, the speed of electromagnetic wave is
2.99* 10^(8)m/s
