The frequency of a photon of light is related to its wavelength by the following formula:
c+=+%28Wavelength%29%28Frequency%29
wavelength=lambda
frequency=c%2Flambda
where c=3%2A10%5E8%28+m%2Fs%29+ is the speed of light.
What is the frequency of a photon with a wavelength of lambda=5%2A10%5E%28-9+%29m
frequency=3%2A10%5E8%28m%2Fs%29%2F%285%2A10%5E%28-9+%29m%29

frequency=%283%2A10%5E8%28cross%28m%291%2Fs%29%29%2F%285%281%2F10%5E9+%29cross%28m%29%29

frequency=%28%283%2A10%5E8%29%2Fs%29%2F%285%2F10%5E9+%29

frequency=%283%2A10%5E8%2A10%5E9+%29%2F5s

frequency=%283%2A10%5E17+%29%2F5s
frequency=%283%2Across%2810%292%2A10%5E16+%29%2Fcross%285%29s

frequency=3%2A2%2A10%5E16%281%2Fs%29

frequency=6%2A10%5E16%281%2Fs%29

answer is: %286%2A10%5E16%29%2Fs
