Question

A mercury lamp emits radiation with a frequency of 5.62 x1024 Hz. Calculate the wavelength of

this radiation.​

Answer 1

wavelength = 0.534×10⁻¹⁶ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of wave = 5.62 ×10²⁴ Hz

Wavelength = ?

Solution:

Speed of photon = wavelength × frequency

wavelength = speed of photon / frequency

Now we will put the values in formula:

wavelength = 3×10⁸ m/s / 5.62 ×10²⁴ Hz

Hz = s⁻¹

wavelength = 3×10⁸ m/s / 5.62 ×10²⁴ s⁻¹

wavelength = 0.534×10⁻¹⁶ m
