  1. v= f / (lambda)

    v = c = 299 792 458 m / s

    f = 5.11*10^11 s-1

    lamda = 5.86*10^-4 m


  2. If we assume that the radiation is propagating in a vacuum and is travelling at c. Then

    wavelength =  299 792 458 / 5.11E11

    = 0.000586678 metres


  3. Wavelength = speed/frequency

    = (3 * 10^8)/(5.11 * 10^11) m

    = 3/5.11 * 10^-3 m

    = 0.587 * 10^-3 m

    = 0.587 mm
