A horizontal logarithmic axis showing electromagnetic wave frequency f in Hz, ranging from 10^8 Hz to 10^20 Hz. Distinct rectangular bands mark different spectrum regions from left to right: Radio (f < 10^9 Hz), Microwave (10^9 Hz to 10^11 Hz), Infrared (10^11 Hz to 4.0 x 10^14 Hz), Visible light (4.0 x 10^14 Hz to 7.5 x 10^14 Hz), Ultraviolet (7.5 x 10^14 Hz to 10^16 Hz), X-rays (10^16 Hz to 10^19 Hz), and Gamma rays (f > 10^19 Hz). Tick marks label each power of ten along the axis. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Electromagnetic spectrum frequency regions.
An electromagnetic wave propagating in a vacuum has a frequency of \(f = 3.0 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}\). A logarithmic frequency diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum is shown. What is the wavelength of this wave in a vacuum, and in which region of the spectrum is it located?
