This problem can be solved using the equation $λ = v/f$

Where -
$λ$ = Wavelength
$c$ = Speed of light
$f$ = Frequency

You're given a frequency $(f)$ of $5.10 * 10^(14) Hz$ , and you're given a speed $(v)$ of $2.998 * 10^8$ $m/s$

Plug the data into the equation to solve for wavelength $(λ)$

$(λ)$ = $5.88 * 10^(-7) m$

An emission ray has a frequency of 5.10 * 10^145.10 * 10^14 HzHz. Given that the speed of light is 2.998 * 10^82.998 * 10^8 mm/s/s, what is the wavelength of the ray?
