Answer : The frequency of element is,
6.25* 10^(14)s^(-1)

Explanation : Given,

Wavelength of element =
4.8* 10^(-7)m

Formula used :


\\u=(c)/(\lambda)

where,


\\u = frequency


\lambda = wavelength

c = speed of light =
3* 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:


\\u=(3* 10^8m/s)/(4.8* 10^(-7)m)


\\u=6.25* 10^(14)s^(-1)

Therefore, the frequency of element is,
6.25* 10^(14)s^(-1)
