The distance of the surface illuminated by the light of the given wavelength is 5,269.32 m.

<h3>Distance of the surface</h3>

The distance of the surface illuminated by the light of the given wavelength is calculated as follows;

D = (rd)/(0.61λ)

where;

  • r is the radius of the illuminated area = 45 cm = 0.45 m
  • d is the diameter of the diameter = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m
  • λ is wavelength = 700 nm = 700 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = (0.45 x 0.005) / (0.61 x 700 x 10⁻⁹)

D = 5,269.32 m

Thus, the distance of the surface illuminated by the light of the given wavelength is 5,269.32 m.
