#f=6.48xx10^14" Hz"#

The equation is:

#f=C/lambda#

where #f# in the fequency (in Hz) #C# is the speed of light, #C = 3.0xx10^8" m/s"# and #lambda# is the wavelength (in meters).

Convert the wavelength to meters:

#463" nm" = 463xx10^-9" m"#

#f=(3.0xx10^8" m/s")/(463xx10^-9" m")#

#f=6.48xx10^14" Hz"#
