Let's first find the wavelength of the light wave:


λ=cf=3108 ms6.71014 Hz=448109 m=448 nm.\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}=\dfrac{3\cdot10^8\ \dfrac{m}{s}}{6.7\cdot10^{14}\ Hz}=448\cdot10^{-9}\ m=448\ nm.


Indigo color has the range of the wavelengths between 440 and 450 nanometers. Therefore, the point source produces the light of indigo color.

Answer:

λ=448 nm,\lambda=448\ nm, indigo.
