Answer:


5.09 * 10^(14) Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of light,c, is given as the product of wavelength and frequency:

c = λf

Where λ = wavelength of light

f = frequency of light

To get frequency, we make frequency the subject of formula:

f = c/λ


f = (3 * 10^(8))/(589 * 10^(-9) ) \\\\f = 5.09 * 10^(14) Hz

The frequency of the light is
5.09 * 10^(14) Hz
