If the wavelength of the violet color is 400 nm, what is the value of its frequency?

Explanation:

Speed = wavelength × frequency

3×10⁸ m/s = (400×10⁻⁹ m) f

f = 7.5×10¹⁴

Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The frequency is ~7.5*1014 Hz

Since visible light has a wavelength spectrum of ~400 nm to ~700 nm, Violet light has a wavelength of ~400 nm and a frequency of ~7.5*1014 Hz.
