Question

- A particular light source gives off light waves with a measured wavelength of

2.0 X 10-7m. What is the frequency of the light source?

Answer 1

f = 1.5 x 10¹⁵ Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Light is an electromagnetic wave and we know that the speed of light is a constant which is

3 x 10⁸ m/s.

Knowing this; v = λ x f

λ = wavelength

f= frequency of light

v = seed of light

f = v/λ

f = 3 x 10⁸m/s / 2.0 x 10-⁷ m

f = 1.5 x 10¹⁵ Hz
