Final answer:

The wavelength of radiation with a frequency of 1.50 x 10¹³ Hz is 2.00 x 10⁻⁵ m or 20000 nm, which is longer than the wavelength of red light.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the wavelength of radiation with a given frequency, we can use the equation c = λf, where c represents the speed of light in vacuum (approximately 3.00 × 108 m/s), λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency of the radiation. Substituting the given frequency of 1.50 × 1013 Hz into the equation, and solving for λ, we get:

λ = λf = λf = λf = λf = λf = λ (3.00 × 108 m/s) / (1.50 × 1013 Hz) = 2.00 × 10-5 m

Red light typically has a wavelength in the range of about 620 to 750 nm. Since the radiation in the question has a wavelength of 20 × 10-6 m, which is equivalent to 20000 nm, it is much longer than the wavelength of red light, indicating it would be on a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum, possibly infrared.
