Frequency = speed / wavelength = 3 x 108/0.001 = 300 GHz . (rounded)
Most folks would call that a "millimeter wave" or a "darned
short microwave", not light. It's certainly not visible.

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.
How are the frequency and wavelength of light related?
They are inversely proportional to each other
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.
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 determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).

What is the speed of light a product of?
The speed of light equals the wavelength (metres) times the frequency (cycles per second). For other waves such as sound waves the wave speed varies but for light the wavelength times the frequency always equals 300 000 km/s, as long as it's traveling through vacuum.

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of 2.45 109 Hz in a vacuum (The speed of light in a vacuum is 3.00 108 ms.)?
You need to divide the speed of light (in m/s) by the frequency (in Hz, which is equal to 1/s) to get the wavelength (in meters).

An electromagnetic wave in a vacuum has a wavelength of 0.032 m What is its frequency?
Just divide the speed of light (300,000,000 meters/second) by the wavelength.
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
How do wavelength and frequency relate to the speed of light?
c=lamda*f c is a constant, which is the speed of light, lamda is the wavelength which the light is traveling at, and f is the frequency of the light. All light travels at the speed of light no matter what colour, however ever colour tavels at different wavelengths and frequencies.
What happens to the wavelength when you increase the rate of 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.

What characteristic determines the energy of a light wave?
It's wavelength or frequency. The energy of a light photon (particle of light) is equal to (h x c) / wavelength, or to h x frequency, where h is Planck's constant and c is the velocity of light in a vacuum.
