A wave has a frequency of about 5.04x10^14 Hz. The wavelength equals ______ meters.
The speed of light is approximately 3x10^8 meters per second.
The formula to calculate wavelength is:
Wavelength (λ) = Speed of light (c) / Frequency (f)
Substituting the given values:
Wavelength (λ) = (3x10^8 m/s) / (5.04x10^14 Hz)
λ = (3x10^8 / 5.04x10^14) m
Calculating:
λ ≈ 5.952x10^-7 meters
Therefore, the wavelength is approximately 5.952x10^-7 meters.
