Answer:

The wave with the wavelength of 8.82 nm have frequency of 0.340 × 10¹⁷ s⁻¹.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of x-ray = 8.82 nm

frequency of x-ray = ?

Solution:

speed = Wavelength × frequency

frequency = speed / Wavelength

c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

f = c/ λ

f = 3 × 10⁸ m/s /8.82 × 10⁻⁹m

f = 0.340 × 10¹⁷ s⁻¹

The wave with the wavelength of 8.82 nm have frequency of 0.340 × 10¹⁷ s⁻¹.
