Answer 1

If light travels at 3 · 108 m/s and its frequency is 6 · 1015 Hz, then its wavelength is: 5 · 10^-8 m

Explanation:

divide speed by frequency

(3 · 10^8)/(6 · 10^15)

=5 · 10^-8 m

Answer 2

`5 * 10^(-8) m`

Explanation:

The speed of light is
`3 * 10^8 m/s` and its frequency is
`6 * 10^(15) Hz`.

The speed of light is given as:

c = λ * f

where λ = wavelength of light

f = frequency of light

Therefore, the wavelength is given as:

λ = c / f

=> λ =
`(3 * 10^8)/(6 * 10^(15))`

=> λ =
`5 * 10^(-8) m`

The wavelength of the light is
`5 * 10^(-8) m`
