Question

If light travels at 3 · 108 m/s and its frequency is 6 · 1015 Hz, then its wavelength is:

A) 10 · 107 m
B) 5 · 10-8 m
C) 5 · 10-7 m
D) 10 · 10-7 m

Answer 1

If light travels at 3 · 108 m/s and its frequency is 6 · 1015 Hz, then its wavelength is: 5 · 10^-8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 5*10^-8 (B)

Explanation:

-Given that the light is the speed

-We will be following the formula :

V= f (λ)

Where,

V is the velocity

F is the frequency

λ is the wavelength

3*10^8 = (6*10^15 )* λ

(3*10^8)/ (6*10^15 ) = λ

5*10^-8m = λ answer

Note: λ is initially 0.5*10^-7 but to make it in the standard form it should be 5*10^-8. And do not forget to place the unit for the wavelength i.e. meter(m) otherwise you may lose marks!
