Answer:

Correct answer: Wave's frequency f = 7.5 · 10¹⁴ Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: wavelength λ = 4.0 · 10⁻⁷ m and

ultraviolet wave's speed V = 3 · 10⁸ m/s

The formula for calculating frequency is:

f = V / λ = 3 · 10⁸ / 4.0 · 10⁻⁷ = 0.75 · 10¹⁵ = 7.5 · 10¹⁴ Hz

f = 7.5 · 10¹⁴ Hz

God is with you!!!
