The relationship between the frequency and the wavelength of light is given by this equation:

λ = C/f

Where λ is the wavelength, f is the frequency and C is the speed of light (a constant). We know these values:

f = 5.92 * 10^14 Hz = 5.92 * 10^14 1/s

C = 3.00 * 10^8 m/s

With those values we can solve our problem.

λ = C/f

λ = 3.00 * 10^8 m/s / (5.92 *10^14 1/s)

λ = 5.07 *10^(-7) m

Answer: the wavelength is 5.07 *10^(-7) m.
