the frequency of yellow lights is 5.00 x 10^14 Hz. if it travels through space (where v= 3.00 x 10^8m/s) find the wavelength of this light.
wave equation: freq x wavelength= speed light
wavelength= 3E8/5E14 m
What is the frequency in hertz of particular wavelenght of uv light
v=f*lambda
f=v/lambda
lambda(wavelength) = v/f
wavelength = 3*10^8/5*10^14
wavelength = 6000 Armstrong
(1 Armstrong = 10^-10m )
To find the wavelength of light, we can use the formula:
λ = c / f
where λ is the wavelength, c is the speed of light, and f is the frequency of the light.
Given:
Frequency (f) = 5.00 x 10^14 Hz
Speed of light (c) = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s
Substituting these values into the formula:
λ = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (5.00 x 10^14 Hz)
To simplify this calculation, divide the numerator and denominator by 10^8:
λ = (3.00 / 5.00) x (10^8 / 10^14) m
Simplify the fraction:
λ = 0.6 x 10^(-6) m
Finally, we can write the result in scientific notation:
λ = 6.0 x 10^(-7) m
Therefore, the wavelength of the yellow light is 6.0 x 10^(-7) meters or 600 nanometers.
