Re: C=Wavelength*Frequency
C is a constant value for the speed of light which is 3.00X10^8 meters/second.

Re: C=Wavelength*Frequency
Does it matter if you use 2.99x10^8 or 3.00x10^8? or are they close enough that the difference is indiscernible?

3.00x10^8 should be accurate enough. The constant will most likely be given on a test on the front page equation sheet. But either number works.

Re: C=Wavelength*Frequency
C is the constant for the speed of light. It is 3.00x10^8m/s. Since it is a constant, it will be given during tests, so there's no pressure to remember this value for tests.
