Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that $\lambda=\frac{h}{m\nu}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\lambda=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{5.313\times 10^{-26}\times 479}=2.603\times 10^{-11}m=26.03pm$ We can compare the wavelength to the length of the molecule as $\frac{26.03pm}{242pm}\times 100\%=10.75 \%$
