frequency and wavelength are two wave properties, which are related by the following equation:
c = λv
where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and v is the frequency of the wave. To solve your problem all you have to do is rearrange the equation and plug the corresponding values with the right units:
λ = c/v = (2.998x10^8 m/s)/(1.031x10^8 s-1) = 2.908 m
The trick here is that 1 Hz = 1 sec^-1 and 1 mHz = 10^6 Hz.
