To calculate the frequency of an electromagnetic wave, you can use the equation:

frequency = speed of light / wavelength

The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second.

First, let's convert the wavelength from nanometers to meters:

300 nanometers = 300 x 10^-9 meters

Now we can calculate the frequency:

frequency = (3 x 10^8 meters per second) / (300 x 10^-9 meters)
= (3 x 10^8) / (300 x 10^-9)
= 10^9 / 10^-9
= 10^18

Therefore, the frequency of the electromagnetic wave is approximately 10^18 hertz.
