The relationship between the speed of light (), frequency (), and wavelength () is given by the wave equation :
To find the wavelength (), we rearrange the formula:
Given values: Speed of light () = Frequency () =
Calculation:
(Note: Planck's constant is provided as distractor data and is not required for calculating wavelength from frequency and speed).
