    Wave frequency and length are inversely related through velocity.

    frequency = velocity / length

    Ligth velocity is 3.0 * 10^8 m/s

    Then, frequency of yellow light = (3.0 * 10^8 m/s) / wavelength

    frequency of yellow light = (3.0 * 10^8 m. s^-1) / (5.2 * 10^14 hertz) = 5.8 * 10^ - 7 m

    Answer: Option (A) 5.8 * 10 ^ - 7 m
