1. Frequency: 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz

The frequency of a light wave is given by:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

In this problem, we have light with wavelength

\lambda=425 nm=425\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s}{425\cdot 10^{-9} m}=7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz


2. Period: 1.42 \cdot 10^{-15}s

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

The frequency of this light wave is 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.42\cdot 10^{-15} s

ANSWER:

frequency = 7.058*10^14 Hz

time period = 1.41*10^-15 s

EXPLANATION:

by formula

f = c / λ

c is constant which is = 3 * 10^8

λ is given = 425 * 10^-9 m

f= 3* 10^8 / 425 * 10^-9

f = 7.058*10^14 Hz

T= 1/f

T = 1 / 705882.3529

T= 1.41*10^ -15 s

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Infra and Red

Explanation:

While many elemental spectral lines are visible, almost all molecular lines lie in the infra portion of the spectrum, since they are at much lower energy. while many elemental spectral lines are visible, almost all molecular lines lie in the red portion of the spectrum, since they are at much lower energy.
