What is the wavelength of light that has a frequency of 4.22X 10^15 HZ?

Step 1. speed of light = wavelength * frequency where speed of light c=3%2A10%5E8 meters/sec

Step 2. wavelength = speed of light/ frequency

Step 3. wavelength+=+3%2A10%5E8%2F%284.22%2A10%5E22%29=+7.15%2A10%5E%28-15%29 meters

I hope the above steps were helpful.

wl=c/f
wl=2.998x10^10 cm/sec/4.22x10^15 HZ
wl=7.10x10^-6 cm
I think, it has been 50 yrs since I have done any electronics math.
Throw it away if it doesn't look right.
