Answer:


f=4.70* 10^(14)\ Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light,
\lambda=6.38* 10^(-7)\ m

We need to find the frequency of the light. We know that,


c=f\lambda\\\\f=(c)/(\lambda)\\\\f=(3* 10^8)/(6.38* 10^(-7))\\\\f=4.70* 10^(14)\ Hz

So, the required frequency of light is equal to
4.70* 10^(14)\ Hz.
