Question

I am having trouble finding the exponent for the question:

What is the wavelength of a gamma ray with a frequency of 1.0 x 10 ^19 Hz? (c = 3.0 x 10 ^8 m/s

? x 10 ^ ? = m

I know the first question mark is a 3, but cannot for the life of me figure out the exponent. I thought it was -9 but have been told it was incorrect. Any help would be appreciated.
