You find wavelength from knowing the wavespeed and frequency.

Explanation:

Happily, they gave you the frequency and the wavespeed is the same for all e-m waves (at least in a vacuum, which is close enough for us) at #3xx10^8 #m/s

#lambda = v/f#

#lambda = (3 xx 10^8)/590000#

#lambda = 508.47 m#

Given that you were only given two significant figures in the data, you should quote the same precision in your answer so I’d say 510m.
