A sine function can be used to model light waves. Green light has a wavelength, or period, of about 530 nanometers (nm). Which equation best models green light
The equation that best models green light can be given as follows:
y = A*sin((2π/λ)x)
Where:
y represents the amplitude of the light wave at a given point on the x-axis,
A represents the maximum displacement of the wave, which corresponds to the brightness or intensity of the green light,
λ represents the wavelength of the green light (in meters),
x represents the position along the x-axis.
However, since the wavelength of green light is given in nanometers, which is a more commonly used unit in this context, the equation can be written as:
y = A*sin((2π/(λ*10^-9))x)
Where λ is now in nanometers and has a value of approximately 530 nm.
