Light is an electromagnetic wave and travels at a speed of 3.00 × 10^8 m/s. The human eye is most sensitive to yellow-green light, which has a wavelength of 5.72 × 10^-7 m. What is the frequency of this light?
To find the frequency of light, we can use the equation:
speed of light = wavelength * frequency
Given that the speed of light is 3.00 × 10^8 m/s and the wavelength is 5.72 × 10^-7 m, we can rearrange the equation to solve for frequency:
frequency = speed of light / wavelength
Plugging in the values, we get:
frequency = (3.00 × 10^8 m/s) / (5.72 × 10^-7 m)
