Question

The frequency of an x-ray wave is 3.0 x 1012MHz. Its wave speed is 3.0x 108m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the x-ray wave below. I need to know by 11 pm, also I can crown brainliest :)

Answer 1

Answer: The wavelength of the x-ray wave is $10^{-10}m$

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}$

where,

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the light  = ?

c = speed of x-ray= $3.0\times 10^8m/s$

$\nu$ = frequency of x-ray = $3.0\times 10^{12}MHz=3.0\times 10^{18}Hz= 3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}$     $(1Hz=1s^{-1})$

Putting in the values:

$\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8m/s}{3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}}=10^{-10}m$

Thus the wavelength of the x-ray wave is $10^{-10}m$
