The frequency of light can be calculated using the formula:

v = c/λ

where:
v is the frequency,
c is the speed of light (approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s), and
λ is the wavelength.

Given that the wavelength (λ) is 460 nm, we first need to convert this to meters:

460 nm = 460 x 10^-9 m = 4.60 x 10^-7 m

Now we can substitute the values into the formula:

v = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (4.60 x 10^-7 m)
v = 6.52 x 10^14 Hz

So, the frequency that corresponds to an absorption line at 460 nm is 6.52 x 10^14 Hz. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 6.52 x 10^14 Hz.
