speed = wavelength x frequency, so it can't be done unless you know the speed. However if it's an electromagnetic wave the speed is about 3 x 108 km/s so the wavelength is 3 x 108/6 x 1018 km = 5 x 10-11 km
It is approx 50 picometres.
x-ray
Convert the wavelength to meters. Then simply multiply the frequency by the wavelength. The answer will be in meters/second.
If you divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (in Hz), you get the wavelength (in meters).
speed = wavelength x frequency therefore, you would solve this by multiplying 18 and 4 to find the speed. There isn't enough information to find the velocity. In fact, it's doubtful whether it's even appropriate to talk about the 'velocity' of a wave. 'Velocity' is not simply a word you use instead of 'speed' in order to sound smart.
You need to use the equation c= wavelength * frequency , where c is the speed of light (2.99792458 * 108 m/s) Solve the equation for frequency, frequency=c/wavelength frequency = 1.02 * 1016 s-1 or the unit could be Hz which equals 1 s-1

Just divide the speed by the frequency. Since SI units are used, the wavelength will be in meters.
Period = 1 / (frequency) = 1 / 6th of a second = [166 and 2/3] millisecondsSpeed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = 6 x 3 = [18] meters per second
No violet light does not have the shortest wavelength. Cosmic rays have the shortest wavelenght which is 10-18 m. Due to its shortest wavelength it has the highest frequency and thus it travels the largest distance.
assuming the wave is electromagnetic... the energy of a single photon of that frequency is given by the formula E=hf where E= energy of the photon h=the Planck constant f= the frequency of the photon From this the energy of the photon is the Planck constant (6.63 x10-34) multiplied by the frequency 3.6x1016 Hz. E= 23.9x10-18 Joules. The wavelength of any wave is determined by the equation wave speed = frequency x wavelength. thus, the wavelength is the wave speed divided by the frequency. since all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light then... wavelength = 3x108 / 3.6x1016 wavelength = 0.83x10-8 = 8.3x10-9 metres. The electromagnetic radiation corresponding to this energy and wavelength is ultraviolet radiation and may be of interest to nuclear medicine.
If you divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (in Hz), you get the wavelength (in meters).
Lambda( Wavelength) = velocity/frequency Frequency = 18 x 10^3 Hz Velocity = Speed of sound = 340m/s wavelength = 340/18x10^3 = 17/900 m
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) =(18 miles per second) x (1,609.344 meters per mile) / (50 meters) = 579.4 Hz (rounded)This speed and frequency is awfully high for a water wave, but the math is the math.

An X-ray has a wavelength in the range of 10 to 0.01 nanometers. The frequency is in the range of 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz, that is 30×10^15 Hz to 30×10^18 Hz.
