Answer:

Wavelength of light wave = 0.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Frequency of wave = 5 x 10⁸

Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Find:

Wavelength of light wave

Computation:

The size of a wave form is its spatial duration, or the duration in which the wave's form repeats.

Wavelength of light wave = Speed of light / Frequency of wave

Wavelength of light wave = [3 x 10⁸] / [5 x 10⁸]

Wavelength of light wave = 0.6 m
