Answer:


6x10^9Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

we use a formula that relates the frequency and the wavelength:


f=(c)/(\lambda)

where
f is the frequency of the wave,
c is the speed of light
c=3x10^8m/s, and
\lambda is the wavelength.

We know that the wavelength is:
\lambda=0.050m, so substituting the known values in the equation for the frequency we get:


f=(3x10^8m/s)/(0.05m) \\f=6x10^9s^(-1)=6x10^9Hz

The frequency is:


6x10^9Hz
