What is the frequency of a wavelength of 450 NM?
Wavelength x frequency = speed (of the wave), therefore, the frequency is the speed divided by the wavelength. If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, its speed is approximately 300,000,000 m/s. Also, don't forget to convert the nanometers to meters before doing the division.
Wavelength of red light in a vacuum?
around 750 nanometers.
What is the frequency of light in fused quartz if the wavelength in vacuum is 500nm?
Divide the speed of light in a vacuum (in meters/second) by the wavelength (which you must convert to meters); that will give you the frequency in hertz. The frequency will be the same for different substances.
Why is wavelength all you need to know to calculate EM wave frequency in a vacuum?
Because the speed of light in a vacuum is constant(c). hence the formula, v=f.w, where v is velovity, f is frequency and w is wavelength, can be used to calculate the frequency.
What happens to the wavelength when you increase the rate of the vibration?
Wavelength and frequency have an inverse relationship. c = lambda x f, so f = c/lambda, where lambda is wavelength, f is frequency, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. Therefore, when the frequency increases, the wavelength shortens.

If you know the vacuum wavelength of any form of electromagnetic radiation you can determine its frequency because?
You know its speed in vacuum, and frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) .
What is the wavelength of 1.010 to the fifteenth power?
That number has no units, and just-plain-numbers don't have wavelengths. If you mean that number to have the unit of "Hertz", and to be a frequency of, say, an electromagnetic wave in vacuum, then it's wavelength would be 296.8 nanometers ... an ultraviolet wave.
What is the frequency of red light that has a wavelength of 645 nm?
The color of the wavelength lambda = 595 nanometers is "orange-yellow" and not blue. The wavelength lambda = 595 nanometers equals the frequency f = 503,852,870,588,235 Hz. Blue light is between 490 and 450 nonometers. 1 nanometer = 1×10−9 meter. 595 nm = 0.000000595 meters. Scroll down to related links and look at "Radio and light waves in a vacuum".
The wavelength of a beam of light passing through a vacuum is 420 nanometers. What is the frequency of the light beam?
You need to divide the speed of light by the wavelength. (To have consistent units, you must first either convert the speed of light to nm/second, or convert the wavelength to meters.)

What is the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a water wave?
The relationship v = T * λ (speed = frequency * wavelength) is true for all waves. For anything with a constant speed, higher frequency means shorter wavelength.
How are the frequency and wavelength of light related?
They are inversely proportional to each other
