Question

What is the frequency of the shortest wavelength light that can be detected by the average human eye?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Human eye can detect light of wavelength between 380 to 700 nm

This wavelength region is called visible region of light

we know

velocity=frequency\times wavelength

thus for same velocity of light wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency

for shortest wavelength i.e.
`\lambda =380\ nm`

frequency is
`\mu =(3* 10^8)/(380* 10^(-9))`

`\mu =7.894* 10^(14)\ Hz`
