Answer:

400nanometers

Explanation:

Based on Margot measurement, the distance for 6wavelengths of visible light is 2400nanometers. To calculate the resulting distance for 1wavelength we have:

6wavelength = 2400nanometers

1wavelength = x

6wavelength × x = 2400nanometers × 1wavelength

x = 2400nanometres/6

x = 400nanometres
