\begin{gathered} c=f\wedge \\ \text{where} \\ \wedge=wavelength \\ f=\text{frequency} \\ c=propagation\text{ sp}eed\text{ of the wave} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} c=3*10^8 \\ f\text{ =?} \\ \wedge=1*10^(-12) \end{gathered}

Therefore,


\begin{gathered} f=(c)/(\wedge) \\ f=(3*10^8)/(1*10^(-12)) \\ f=3*10^(8-(-12)) \\ f=3*10^(20)s^(-1) \end{gathered}
