Answer:

4.13×10⁻⁷ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying

v = λf................... Equation 1

Wherfe v = speed of light, λ = wavelength of light, f = frequency of light.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f....................... Equation 2

Note: Light is an electromagnetic wave, and all electromagnetic wave moves with thesame speed which is 3×10⁸ m/s.

From the question,

Given: f = 7.26×10¹⁴ Hz

Constant: v = 3×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = (3×10⁸)/(7.26×10¹⁴)

λ = 4.13×10⁻⁷ m
