Question

The wavelength of violet light is 4.0 x 10−7 m. The wavelength of red light is 6.5 x 10−7 m. How much longer is the wavelength of red than violet?

The wavelength of violet light is 4.0 x 10−7 m. The wavelength of red light is 6.5 x 10−7 m. How much longer is the wavelength of red than violet?
A
2.5 × 10–7 m
B
1.05 × 10–7 m
C
2.5 × 10–6 m
D
1.05 × 10–6 m

Answer 1

A) 2.5× 10–7 m

explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

We can substract the wavength of the violet light to the wavelength of the red light:

(6.5 x 10^-7 m) - (4.0 x 10^-7 m) = 2.5 x 10^-7 m
