the wavelength will be speed/frequency=300000/100100000
=0.002997002997002997002997002997003 kilometers
in aproximation
=2.997002997002997002997002997003 in meters
or 3meters

Wavelength, frequency and speed are related by:
c = λ f
where, c = speed of light, λ = the wavelength and f = the frequency. Rearrange the equation, and you have
λ = c / f = 300000000 / 100100 ≈ 2997 m
