Question

Calculate the frequencies corresponding to the wavelengths 500.00 nm and 500.10 nm. Use these to check the accuracy of equation

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength,
`\lambda_1=500\ nm=5* 10^(-7)\ m`

Wavelength,
`\lambda_2=500.10\ nm=5.001* 10^(-7)\ m`

We need to find the frequencies from corresponding wavelengths. The frequency of the light is given by :

`f=(c)/(\lambda)`

c is the speed of light

Frequency 1,

`f_1=(c)/(\lambda_1)`

`f_1=(3* 10^8\ m/s)/(5* 10^(-7)\ m)`

`f_1=6* 10^(14)\ Hz`

Frequency 2,

`f_2=(c)/(\lambda_2)`

`f_1=(3* 10^8\ m/s)/(5.001* 10^(-7)\ m)`

`f_1=5.99* 10^(14)\ Hz`

Hence, this is the required solution.
