Question

If the wavelength of orange light is 6 · 10-7 m, calculate its frequency. f = _______ Hz

Answer 1

Frequency of orange light =
`5 * 10^(14)` Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the wavelength of the orange light and we are to find the value of its frequency.

Wavelength of orange light =
`6.0 * 10^(-7) m`

We know that:

Speed of light = Frequency of orange light × Wavelength of orange light

Substituting the values in the above formula:

`3 * 10^8` = Frequency of orange light ×
`6.0*10^(-7)`

Frequency of orange light =
`(3 * 10^8)/(6*10^(-7)) =5 * 10^(14)` Hz
