The frequency of an x-ray wave is 3.0 x 1012 MHz. Its wave speed is 3.0x 108 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the x-ray wave below.

Can some one help!!

Answer:

λ = 1*10⁻¹⁰m

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency (f) = 3.0*10¹²MHz = 3.0*10¹⁸Hz

Speed (v) = 3.0*10⁸m/s

Speed (v) of a wave = frequency (f) * wavelength (λ)

V = fλ

Solve for λ,

λ = v / f

λ = 3.0*10⁸ / 3.0*10¹⁸

λ = 1*10⁻¹⁰m

λ = 0.
