The speed is equal to the product of the frequency and the wavelength. First convert the wavelength to meters, so as to have compatible units.The speed of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum is ALWAYS the same - around 300 million meters/second. If you get any result, something is wrong - unless the wave travels through some other medium, in which case its speed can be less than the speed of light in a vacuum.
The wave speed is always the product of (wavelength) x (frequency).
For the data given in the question ...
Speed = (5.76 x 10^-9 m) x (5.21 x 10^16 per second)
= 300,096,000 meters per second.
These physics and arithmetic are air-tight and bullet-proof,
but the solution is absurd.
The speed of all electromagnetic waves is 299,792,458 m/s in vacuum, and
less in any material medium. The speed calculated above isn't possible.
It is 340 metres per second.
The speed of any wave is the product of the frequency and the wavelength. Be sure to convert the nm to meters first (dividing by 1,000,000,000). - By the way, in a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, known as the speed of light - about 300 million meters/second. However, in other substances - such as air, or water - electromagnetic waves are slower.
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.
Frequencies and wavelengths (APEX)
The wavelength of ultraviolet light is between 10 and 400 nanometers (nm).From the wavelength you can determine the frequency. If you divide the speed of light by the wavelength, you can calculate the frequency.The frequency range would be from 7.5 x 1014 Hz to 3 x 1016 Hz.

Frequency of electromagnetic radiation = (speed of light) / (wavelength) Speed of light in vacuum = 300,000,000 meters/sec (rounded) Frequency = (300,000,000 meters/sec) / (5 x 10-6 cm) = (3 x 108 m/s) / (5 x 10-8 m) = 0.6 x 1016 = 6 x 1015 Hz.

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
