geno has given you the correct wavelength.  The frequency is obtained by dividing the energy by h.

 

frequency=2.93×10(25)(6.6260693×10(34))frequency=442192779.3601554997319452

frequency ≈ 4.422*108 s-1

E = (h·c)/λ

2.93 x 10^-25  =  (6.626 x 10^-34 · 2.998 x 10^8) / λ

2.93 x 10^-25 · λ  =  (6.626 x 10^-34 · 2.998 x 10^8) 

λ  =   (6.626 x 10^-34 · 2.998 x 10^8) / ( 2.93 x 10^-25 )

λ   =  6.78 x 10^-1 m
