James observes that the Polaris star in the northern hemisphere does not rise and set in the sky. His teacher tells him that thi
s is because Earth rotates around an axis that points toward Polaris. Based on this information, identify where Polaris could be located on the diagram.

Answer:
Just above the pole (top-most red circle)
Explanation:
Polaris is used to identify North direction. Since, the Earth rotates on its axis which is along North-south, Polaris never seems to rise and set from the Northern hemisphere. This is because Polaris lies above north pole. Thus, in the given diagram, Polaris is above the North pole on the axis represented by top-most red circle.

c = speed of light. If a different value was given in the previous question then use that instead of the value I used to do the final calculation.
The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
where
f is the frequency
is the wavelength

For the light in our problem, the frequency is
, so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
where
f is the frequency
For the light in our problem, the frequency is
