Calculate the frequency of light that has a wavelength of 5.50 x 10^-7 m.?

Use 
the 
equation:
 c
=
 λν, 
where
 c 
=
 2.9979 
x 
108 
ms – 1 
(the
 speed
 of 
light), 
λ 
= 
the 
wave length 
of
 light
in 
m, 
and 
ν
 is
 the 
frequency 
in 
units 
of 
1/s, 
to 
calculate 
the 
frequency
 of
 light 
that 
has 
a 
wave length
 of
5.50
 x
 10–7
m.

    Why don't you just put the known values and calculate?

    ν = c/λ = (2.9979 
x 
10^8) / (5.50
 x
 10^–7)

    ---> v = 5.45 x 10^14 Hz
