Homework Statement



Calculate the wavelength of lights that has a frequency of 3.44x1^14 s^-1

Homework Equations



c=λV
c=3.0 x 10^8 m/s


The Attempt at a Solution



Our instructor hasn't taught us this and I'm reading the chapter and not understanding.. does it mean to plug values into the equation?

3.0x10^8 m/s=λ3.44x1^14 like that? Then solve for λ?
