Lights from a red laser pointer has a speed of 3.0 x 10^8 m/s and has a wavelenght of 6.5 x 10^-7 m. what is the frequency of this light

You have  

1

s

, and oftentimes with wavelength, you want to convert to  

nm

which is UV-Vis range (

200~700 nm

), and is often of spectral interest.

What you want to do is:

1

Conversion factors are extremely useful, and one easy one to remember is the speed of light, which is about
