Assume that the question is referring to electromagnetic radiation, traveling in vacuum.
Speed = 3 x 108 meters/sec
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = (3 x 108) / (1,150 x 10-9) = 2.6087 x 1014 Hz
= 2.609 x 105 GHz (rounded)

1150, as a fraction is 1150/1.It is 1150/1.
UV, or "ultraviolet" radiation from the Sun. UV radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible light does, and carries more energy.
The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is a measure of the frequency; multiply the frequency times the wavelength, and the answer is ALWAYS the "Speed of Light", which we abbreviate as "c". All of these are different "bands" of electromagnetic energy. Radio is the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. "Low Frequency" is the lowest, followed by "high frequency", "very high frequency" or VHF, "ultra-high frequency" or UHF. Beyond that are microwaves, and then heat, then "infrared", and then visible light. Higher frequency (and shorter wavelengths) than light are "ultra-violet", then X-rays, and then "gamma rays".
That is called "redshift". The frequency of the radiation decreases.
