Answer :

Given:

The wavelength of the violet visible light is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \lambda=420\text{ nm} \\ =420\times10^{-9}\text{ m} \end{gathered}[/tex]

To find:

The frequency

Explanation:

The speed of the violet visible light in air is,

[tex]c=3\times10^8\text{ m/s}[/tex]

The frequency is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} f=\frac{c}{\lambda} \\ =\frac{3\times10^8}{420\times10^{-9}} \\ =7.14\times10^{14}\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the frequency is

[tex]7.14\times10^{14}\text{ Hz}[/tex]
