a beam of blue light has a wavelength of 595 nm. What is the frequency
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words " wavelength frequency" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
In order to find the frequency of the beam of blue light, we can use the equation:
frequency = speed of light / wavelength
The speed of light is a constant value, which is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. The wavelength given is 595 nm, which needs to be converted to meters by dividing by 10^9.
Plugging the values into the equation:
frequency = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (595 nm / 10^9)
Simplifying, we get:
frequency ≈ 5.04 x 10^14 Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the blue light beam is approximately 5.04 x 10^14 Hz.
