Answer:


\lambda=5.70* 10^(-7)\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of a sodium vapor lamp,
f=5.26* 10^(14)\ Hz

We need to find the wavelength of light. The relation between wavelength, frequency and speed of light is given by :


c=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=(c)/(f)\\\\\lambda=(3* 10^8)/(5.26* 10^(14))\\\\\lambda=5.70* 10^(-7)\ m

So, the wavelength of light is equal to
5.70* 10^(-7)\ m.
