Answer:

1.25 x 10^15Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

c = frequency x wavelength

c is the speed of light, which is equal to 3.00 x 10^8 m / s

frequency = c /wavelength

= (3.00 x 10^8m /s) / (2.40 x 10^-5 cm x 1 m /100cm)

= (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / 2.40 x 10^-7m

= 1.25 x 10^15/s 1 / s = 1Hz

So, the Frequency = 1.25 x 10^15Hz

I hope this helped :)
