Calculate the wavelength in meters of electromagnetic radiation that has a frequency of 850.0 kHz. (c = 3.00 X 10^8 m/s)

-----------------------------------
### Explanation:

This problem requires the calculation of the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation using the formula:

\[ \lambda = \frac{c}{f} \]

Where:
- \( \lambda \) is the wavelength in meters,
- \( c \) is the speed of light, which is \( 3.00 \times 10^8 \) m/s,
- \( f \) is the frequency, given as 850.0 kHz.

**Conversion Note:** 
- 850.0 kHz = \( 850.0 \times 10^3 \) Hz 

**Calculation Steps:**
1. Convert frequency from kHz to Hz.
2. Use the formula to find the wavelength.

### Keypad and Input:
The interface allows for direct input of the answer using a numeric keypad shown on the right side of the screen. 

Ensure that your answer is input in meters (m).
