Answer:

4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m

Step-by-step explanation:

the applicable formula is

v = fλ

where

v = velocity (i.e speed) = given as 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency = given asw 6.11 x 10¹⁴

λ = wavelength

if we rearrange the equation and substitute the values given above,

v = fλ

λ = v/f

= 3.0 x 10⁸ / 6.11 x 10¹⁴

= 4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m
