1.What are the basic units for
a) wavelength of light
b) frequency of light
c) speed of light

2. What is the wavelength, in meter, of radiation that has a frequency of 5.11x10^11 s^-1

I think the 2nd problem should tell you the answer to a) :). Also, you should know what the units of speed are, light is no different in this regard.
 
unit of wave length is metre
that of frequency is hertz
and speed of light is m/s
