    The equation we need to use to solve this is: c=λν

    c is the speed of light (2.998 x 10^8 m/s)

    λ is the wavelength, which we're gonna solve for

    ν is the frequency (2.4 x 10^14 Hz)

    First, plug in the values we were given into the equation

    2.998 x 10^8 m/s = (λ) (2.4 x 10^14 Hz)

    Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2.4 x 10^14 Hz to solve for the wavelength (λ)

    λ = 1.249166667 x 10^-6 m

    Round to 2 significant figures

    λ = 1.2 x 10^-6 m
