Question

Light is an electromagnetic wave and travels at a speed of 3.00 × 108 m/s. The human eye is most sensitive to yellow-green light, which has a wavelength of 5.04 × 10-7 m. What is the frequency of this light?

Answer 1

`f = 5.95 * 10^(14) Hz`

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the wave is given as

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

here we know that

`c = 3 * 10^8 m/s`

also we know that

`\lambda = 5.04 * 10^(-7) m`

now we have

`f = (3 * 10^8)/(5.04 * 10^(-7))`

`f = 5.95 * 10^(14) Hz`
