Humans have three types of cone cells in their eyes, which are responsible for color vision. Each type absorbs a certain part of the visible spectrum. Suppose a particular cone cell absorbs light with a wavelength of . Calculate the frequency of this light.

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence/omission of the wavelength but the completed question is attached below.

The formula for frequency is f = c/λ

where f is the frequency (unknown)

c is the speed of light (3.0 × 10⁸ m/s)

λ is the wavelength (599 nm)

f = (3 × 10⁸) ÷ 599

f = 500834.73 Hz or 5 × 10⁵ Hz
