Question

Calculate the frequency of each of the following wave lengths of electromagnetic radiation. Part A 488.0 nm (wavelength of argon laser) Express your answer using four significant figures. ν1 ν 1 = nothing s−1 Request Answer Part B 503.0 nm (wavelength of maximum solar radiation) Express your answer using four significant figures.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $f=6.1475*10^{14}Hz$

B. $f=5.9642*10^{14}Hz$

Explanation:

The frequency has an inversely proportional relationship with the concept of wavelength, the greater the wavelength, the lower the frequency. For electromagnetic waves, the frequency is equal to the speed of light, divided by the wavelength.

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

A.

$f=\frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s}}{488*10^{-9}m}\\\\f=6.1475*10^{14}Hz$

B.

$f=\frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s}}{503*10^{-9}m}\\\\f=5.9642*10^{14}Hz$
