In question 1.7 in the textbook at asks, to calculate the wavelength.
My answer was 1.49x10^-10, but the correct answer is 1.5x10^10. Does anyone know if we have to round up, or can we leave it just like that?

This is more of a question with sigfigs. Since we have not formally talked about sigfigs in lecture, I do not think the rounding matters for now. Also, be careful of the negative signs in your exponents!
