This problem can be solved using the equation #λ = v/f#

Where -
#λ# = Wavelength
#c# = Speed of light
#f# = Frequency

Explanation:

You're given a frequency #(f)# of #5.10 * 10^(14) Hz#, and you're given a speed #(v)# of #2.998 * 10^8# #m/s#

Plug the data into the equation to solve for wavelength #(λ)#

#(λ)# = #5.88 * 10^(-7) m#
