Light waves of frequency 6 x 10^14 Hz have a wavelength of 3.75 x 10^-7 m in water. What is their speed in water?

Answer:

velocity=v = 22.5 * 10⁷ m s ^ - 1

Step-by-step explanation:


\sf\longmapsto \: Frequency = 6 * 10 ^ {14 } H z


\sf\longmapsto \: Wavelength = 3.75 * 10 {}^(-7) m

Now let's solve out!!


\sf\longmapsto \: velocity = frequency \lambda


\sf\longmapsto \: velocity=6 * 10 {}^(14) s {}^( - 1) * \ 3.75 * 10 {}^( - 7) m


\sf\longmapsto \: velocity= 22.5 * 10 ^ 7 m s ^ { - 1}

Note:


\lambda is the Greek letter known as lambda.

\\ \bull\sf Frequency=f=6* 10^(14)Hz


\\ \bull\sf Wavelength=\lambda=3.75* 10^(-7)m

Now

  • . Velocity=v


\\ \sf\longmapsto v=f\lambda


\\ \sf\longmapsto v=6* 10^(14)s^(-1)* 3.75* 10^(-7)m


\\ \sf\longmapsto v=22.5* 10^7ms^(-1)
