The correct answer is:
$3.8 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
$\lambda=7.8 \times 10^2 \mathrm{~nm}=7.8 \times 10^2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}$
$\begin{aligned} & =7.8 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\lambda}=\frac{3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}}{7.8 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}}=3.8 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & =7.8 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\lambda}=\frac{3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}}{7.8 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}}=3.8 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\end{aligned}$
