    Speed of light = frequency
    × wavelength
    For frequency = 3.75
    × 1014 Hz
    Λ = c/v = (3
    × 108 m/s)/(3.75
    ×1014 Hz) = 8 × 10-7 m = 8000 Å
    For frequency = 7.5 × 1014 Hz
    Λ = c/v = (3 × 108 m/s)/(7.5
    × 1014 Hz) = 4 × 10-7m = 4000 Å
    Wavelength range = 4000 Å to 8000 Å
