Answer:

Wavelength = 5 * 10^{-11} meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency = 6.0 x 10^18 Hz

Speed = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

To find the wavelength of the wave;

Mathematically, the wavelength of a wave is given by the formula;


Wavelength = \frac {speed}{frequency}

Substituting into the formula, we have;


Wavelength = \frac {3 * 10^(8)}{6.0 x 10^(18)}

Wavelength = 5 * 10^{-11} meters
