    All electromagnetic waves move at the speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Thus, for any electromagnetic wave:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    c = νλ

    Thus, the wavelength, λ, is:

    λ = c

    λ = (3 x 108 m/s) / (8 x 1014 Hz) * Note: Hz =

    λ = 3.75 x 10-7 m

    but wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is usually given in nanometers, so:

    λ = 3.75 x 10-7 m x (1 nm / (1 x 10-9 m)

    λ = 375 nm
