Answer:


f=5.76* 10^(14)\ Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the frequency of green light having wavelength o
5.2* 10^(-7)\ m. It can be calculated as follows :


c=f\lambda\\\\f=(c)/(\lambda)\\\\f=(3* 10^8)/(5.2* 10^(-7))\\\\f=5.76* 10^(14)\ Hz

So, the required frequency of green light is equal to
5.76* 10^(14)\ Hz.
