Question

Using the equation A=c/f to calculate the wavelength of ultraviolet light whose frequency is 2x10^15hz.A.1.5x10^7mB.1.5x10^-7HzC.1.5nmD.1.5x10^-7m

Answer 1

D. 1.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

Step-by-step explanation

In the equation, c is the speed of light - which is 3x10⁸ m/s, and f is the frequency - which for this ultraviolet light is 2x10¹⁵ hz. Then, its wavelength is:

`\lambda=(3\cdot10^8m/s)/(2\cdot10^(15)1/s)=1.5\cdot10^(-7)m`

Therefore, answer is option D. 1.5 x10⁻⁷ m
