Answer:

f = 23.64 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

From the wave equation, the relationship between frequency and wavelength is given by;

f = cλ

Where;

λ is wavelength

c is speed of light with a constant value of 3 × 10^(8) m/s

f is frequency

We are given wavelength of 7.88 x 10^(-8) m

Thus;

f = 7.88 x 10^(-8) × 3 × 10^(8)

f = 23.64 Hz
