Question

What is the frequency of a photon with a wavelength of 1040 nm. Report your answers to three significant digits. The frequency is = _________ s-1

Answer 1

Answer:

$Frequency=2.88\times 10^{14}\ s^{-1}$

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$c=frequency\times Wavelength$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Given, Wavelength = 1040 nm

Also, 1 m = $10^{-9}$ nm

So,  

Wavelength = $1040\times 10^{-9}$ m

Thus, Frequency is:

$Frequency=\frac{c}{Wavelength}$

$Frequency=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1040\times 10^{-9}}\ s^{-1}$

$Frequency=2.88\times 10^{14}\ s^{-1}$
