Question

Wavelength of yellow light with frequency of 5.2x10 14

Answer 1

5.77x10^-7 m or 577 nm (nanometers)

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength, λ, and frequency, ν, of light are described by the equation:

c = λν

where c is the speed of light.

c = 3.0x10^8 m/s

v = 5.2x10^14

λ = c/v

λ = (3.0x10^8 m/s)/(5.2x10^14) = 5.77x10^-7 m

since 1 m = 10^9nm, we can express this as 577 nm (nanometers)

577 nm. This is in the yellow light span of wavelengths.
