Question

A carbon dioxide laser produces radiation with a wavelength of 1.06 x 104 nm. What is the frequency of this radiation?

Answer 1

Answer:

frequency of the radiation will be $2.83\times 10^4Hz$

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the radiation is $1.06\times 10^4m$

Velocity of the light $c=3\times 10^{8}m/sec$

We have to find the frequency of the radiation

We know that velocity of light is given by $v=\lambda f$, here $\lambda$ is wavelength and f is frequency

So frequency of radiation will be $f =\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1.06\times 10^4}=2.83\times 10^4Hz$

So frequency of the radiation will be $2.83\times 10^4Hz$
