Question

Calculate the frequency of visible light having a wavelength of 410 nm

Answer 1

Given: Wavelength λ = 410 nm convert to Meters m = 4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m

Speed of light c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Required: Frequency f = ?

Formula: c = λf

f = c/λ

f = 3 x 10⁸ m/s/4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m

f = 7.32 x 10¹⁴/s or 732 Thz (Terahertz)
