Answer:

Frequency,
f=6.67* 10^(14)\ Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength of a light wave is 450 nm. It is required to find the frequency of this light wave. The speed of light is given by c. So,


c=f\lambda

f is the frequency of this light


f=(c)/(\lambda)\\\\f=(3* 10^8)/(450* 10^(-9))\\\\f=6.67* 10^(14)\ Hz

So, the frequency of this light is
6.67* 10^(14)\ Hz.
