Answer:


2.33*10^(15)Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between velocity v, frequency f and wavelength for electromagnetic waves is given by;


v=\lambda f..............(1)

Given;


v=3*10^8m/s\\\lambda=129nm=129*10^(-9)m\\f=?

We make substitutions into equation (1) as follows;


f=(v)/(\lambda)\\f=(3*10^8)/(129*10^(-9))
