    Remember speed of light = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s

    And frequency in Hz(Hertz) is 's^-1'

    Hence

    3.0 x 10^8 m/s = F x 1.73 x 10^16 m

    F = 3.0 x 10^8 ms^-1 / 1.73 x 10^16 m

    F = 1.73 x 10^(-6) Hz(s^-1)

    Similarly

    3.0 x 10^8 ms^-1 = l x 2.99 x 10^5 Hz(s^-1)

    L = 3.0 x 10^8 / 2.99 x 10^5

    L = 1003.3 m
