    c=wavelength*frequency, being c the speed of light

    wavelength=3*10^8/1.150*10^15=(3/1.15) * 10^-7=2.6*10^-7 m

    First you have the equation C = fλ or V = fλ

    where C is the speed of light. which is 3.00 x 10^8

    you can use this value because all electromagnetic waves moves at the speed of light it is a constant.

    so u isolate of λ

    λ = C/f

    so λ = 3.00 x 10^8/ 1.150 x 10^15

    λ = 2.609 x 10^7 m
