Answer:
f=6.88*10^3HzStep-by-step explanation:

The speed of a photon is:


v=3.0*10^8\text{ m/s}

The wavelength is given as:


\lambda=4.36*10^4m

The relationship between speed, wavelength, and frequency is:


v=\lambda f

Substitute the values of v and λ, and solve for f


\begin{gathered} 3*10^8=4.36*10^4* f \\ \\ f=(3*10^8)/(4.36*10^4) \\ \\ f=6880.7\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}
f=6.88*10^3Hz
