For electromagnetic radiation, frequency x wavelength equals the speed of liqht, c, in a vacuum, which is 3.0 x 108 cm/s.
Formula: c = frequency x wavelength
Your given information is the frequency of 2.5 x 108/s.
Your known information is c, which is 3.0 x 108 m/s.
To solve for wavelength, do the following:
wavelength = c/frequency = (3.0 x 108 m/s)/(2.5 x 108/s) = 12 m

What is cumilative frequency?
Cumilative Frequency is the running total of how many times something happened
What does the word frequent mean in math?
Frequency is the amount of times a variable appears in a set. For example, if the number three appears 5 times it's frequency is five.
What is the number of times an item or number occurs in a data set?
It is its frequency.
Where did the length of a meter come from?
The meter was defined in 1790 as one ten-millionth (10 to the -7th power) of the Earth's quadrant passing through Paris. It was redifined - because the earth is not a sphere, after all, but an oblate spheroid - in 1960, as equal to 1,650,763.73 times the wavelength in a vacuum of the orange-red radiation of krypton 86. In other words, the meter is a length totally unrelated to anything in human experience, which supports the assertion that only a machine could love the Metric System.

How are wavelenghth and frequency of electromagnetic radiation related?
For any wave, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of propagation).For electromagnetic waves, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of 'light')
Relationship between frequency velocity and wavelength?
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) Frequency = (speed) divided by (wavelength) Speed = (frequency) times (wavelength)
If wavelength is multiplied by frequency what is the answer?
Wavelength times frequency gives the speed of the wave.
What is the relationship between wavespeed wavelength and frequency?
Wave speed = (Wavelength) times (frequency).
How does a waves speed relate to its wavelength and frequency?
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is the speed.
What are 3 forms of Electromagnetic Radiation with a wavelength less than visible light?
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".
How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew its speed and frequency?
Wavelength times frequency is the speed. To know the wavelength, you have to divide the speed by the frequency of the light.
What is relation between wave speed and frecuency?
Speed = (frequency) times (wavelength) Frequency = (speed) divided by (wavelength) Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency)
What is energy that can travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic radiation can travel through "empty" space. Depending on the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation, we call it "radio" or "microwaves" or "heat" or "light" or "UV" or "X-rays" or even "cosmic rays" - it's all different frequencies of EM radiation. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency; in fact, the frequency times the wavelength is the constant "c", the speed of light.
As the speed of a particle increases does its associated wavelength increase or decrease?
The wavelength of waves travelling with the same speed would decrease if the frequency of the waves increases. This is because, speed of a wave is the product of the distance of the wavelength times the frequency of the wave. The velocity of a wave is usually constant in a given medium.
What formula relates speed wavelength and frequency-?
The speed is the product of wavelength and frequency.
How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew it's speed and frequency?
Wavelength times frequency is the speed. To know the wavelength, you have to divide the speed by the frequency of the light.
