Question

During the recent convocation ceremony in federal University lokoja felele campus a security patrol van was observed 1 km away from the convocation area if the siren flashlight was clearly visible by everyone and travels with the longest wavelength possible as a frequency of 2.58 * 10 ^ 25 H2 using the Rubbery formula show that the spectrum of the flashlight actually falls at the visible region

Answer 1

The frequency of the siren's light given in the question is much higher than the frequencies associated with visible light and, therefore, it would not fall within the visible spectrum, indicating a possible typo in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked whether the spectrum of a siren flashlight observed during a federal University convocation ceremony falls within the visible region, given that the frequency of the siren's light is 2.58 × 10²⁵ Hz.

According to the electromagnetic spectrum, visible light has wavelengths that range from about 400 nm to 700 nm with frequencies in the range of 10ⁱ⁴ Hz.

Since the frequency mentioned in the question (2.58 × 10²⁵ Hz) is significantly higher than the frequencies associated with visible light, it suggests that the siren's light would not fall within the visible spectrum and appears to be a typo since it exceeds even gamma radiation frequencies.

Therefore, based on correct scientific facts that are within the visible spectrum, the light from the siren must have a lower frequency; usually, red light has the longest wavelength of approximately 700 nm and the lowest frequency within the visible range.
