Frequency and wavelength are inversely related. That is, when frequency increases, the value of the wavelength decreases and vice versa. The constant of proportionality of the relation is the speed of light that has a value of 3.0x10^8 m/s. We calculate as follows:

wavelength = speed of light /frequency
488x10^-9 = 3.8x10^8 / frequency
frequency = 6.15x10^14 /s = 6.15x10^14 Hz ------> OPTION 3
