A television remote control uses infrared light with a wavelength of 940 nm. What is the frequency of the light?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Frequency = 3.19 * 10^14 Hz or 1/s

Explanation:

Relationship b/w frequency and wavelength can be expressed as:

C = wavelength * frequency, where c is speed of light in vacuum which is 3.0*10^8 m/s.

Now simply input value (but before that convert wavelength into meters to match the units, you do this by multiply it by 10^-9 so it will be 940*10^-9)

3.0 * 10^8 = Frequency * 940 x 10^-9

Frequency = 3.19 * 10^14 Hz or 1/s

viva [34]
Set up the problem with the conversion rates as fractions where when you multiply the units cancel out leaving the desired units behind.

( \frac{ 5 cm}{1 sec} ) *( \frac{1m }{100cm})*( \frac{1km}{1000m} )*( \frac{1mi}{1.6km} ) = 0.00003125 mi/sec \\  \\ ( \frac{0.00003125 mi}{1sec} )*( \frac{60sec}{1min} )*( \frac{60min}{1hr} )=0.1125 mi/hr
