What is the wavelength (in nm) of
LenKa [72]

Answer:

λ = 0.45×10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of blue light = ?

Frequency of blue light = 6.69×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

Solution:

Formula;

Speed of wave = wavelength × frequency

Speed of wave = 3.00×10⁸ m/s

by putting vales,

3.00×10⁸ m/s = λ × 6.69×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

λ = 3.00×10⁸ m/s / 6.69×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

λ = 0.45×10⁻⁶ m

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The temperature is 288, 88K

Explanation:

We use the formula PV= nRT:

T= PV/nR

T= 0,987 atm x12 L/0,50 mol x 0,082 l atm/K mol

<em>T=288,88K</em>
