A. To find the frequency of a wave, you can use the formula:

frequency = speed of light / wavelength

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second.

Given the wavelength of 3.79 x 10^15 meters, we can calculate the frequency as follows:

frequency = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (3.79 x 10^15 m) frequency ≈ 7.92 x 10^-8 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is approximately 7.92 x 10^-8 Hz.

B. To find the wavelength of a wave, you can use the formula:

wavelength = speed of light / frequency

Using the speed of light in a vacuum as 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second and the given frequency of 1.01 x 10^6 Hz, we can calculate the wavelength as follows:

wavelength = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (1.01 x 10^6 Hz) wavelength ≈ 2.97 x 10^2 meters

Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is approximately 2.97 x 10^2 meters.
