To find the frequency of light given its wavelength, you can use the equation:

speed of light = wavelength x frequency

The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second (m/s).

First, convert the given wavelength from nanometers (nm) to meters (m):

6.5 x 10^-7 nm = 6.5 x 10^-7 x 10^-9 m = 6.5 x 10^-16 m

Now, rearrange the equation and solve for frequency:

frequency = speed of light / wavelength

frequency = 3 x 10^8 m/s / (6.5 x 10^-16 m)

frequency ≈ 4.62 x 10^23 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of light with a wavelength of 6.5 x 10^-7 nm is approximately 4.62 x 10^23 Hz.
