The wavelength of light is given as 463 nm or can also be written as 463 x 10^-9 m. [wavelength = ʎ]

We know that the speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s or approximately 3 x 10^8 m / s. [speed of light = c]

 

Given the two values, we can calculate for the frequence (f) using the formula:

f = c / ʎ

 

Substituting the given values:

f = (3 x 10^8 m / s) / 463 x 10^-9 m

f = 6.48 x 10^14 / s = 6.48 x 10^14 s^-1

f = 6.48 x 10^14 Hz
