Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf \lambda = 1.2 * 10^(-6) \ m}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Frequency = f = 2.5 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Speed of light = c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Required:

Wavelength = λ = ?

Formula:


\displaystyle \lambda = (c)/(f)

Solution:

Put the given data in the above formula.


\displaystyle \lambda = (3 * 10^8)/(2.5 * 10^(14)) \\\\\lambda = 1.2 * 10^(8-14)\\\\\lambda = 1.2 * 10^(-6) \ m\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}
