    There is an inverse relationship between the wavelength and frequency, thus, the formula for calculating the frequency of the photon is given as

    Frequency = (speed of light / wavelength)

    Frequency = (2.998 x 10E8 m/s) / (5 x 10E-9 m)

    Frequency = 5.1996 x 10E16 1/s

    Therefore the frequency of this x ray is 5.1996 x 10E16 1/s.
