The frequency of this light is $6.98\times 10^{14} s^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Wavelength of the light = $\lambda = 430 nm=4.30\times 10^{-7} m$

Speed of the light = c = $= 3\times 10^8 m/s$

Frequency of the light = $\nu$

$\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }$

$\nu =\frac{3\times 10^8 m/s}{4.30\times 10^{-7} m}=6.98\times 10^{14} s^{-1}$

The frequency of this light is $6.98\times 10^{14} s^{-1}$ .
