Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of light (c) is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. The relationship between the wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) of a wave is given by the formula:

c = λf

Solving for frequency, we get:

f = c / λ

Substituting the values given in the problem, we get:

f = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (519 x 10^-9 m)

f = 5.78 x 10^14 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of green light with a wavelength of 519 nm is approximately 5.78 x 10^14 Hz.
