Answer:

5.00 × 10^14 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength of the light in the medium can be calculated by using the formula:

λ = v / f

Where;

λ = wavelength (m)

v = speed of light

f = frequency (Hz)

From the provided information, λ = 600 nm (600 × 10^-9m), v = 3 × 10^8m/s.

λ = v / f

λ = 3 × 10^8/600 × 10^-9

λ = 0.005 × 10^(8+9)

λ = 0.005 × 10^17

λ = 5.00 × 10^14 Hz

The frequency of the light in the medium is 5.00 × 10^14 Hz
