Question

The speed of light is 3 x 108 m/s (300,000,000 m/s). A light wave has a wavelength of 400 nm (0.0000004 m). What is the frequency of the light

wave?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

velocity = wavelength × frequency

3×10⁸ = 400/10⁹ × frequency

frequency = 3 × 10¹⁵ /400

frequency = 75×10¹¹Hz
