Question

Calculate the wavelength of radiation with a frequency of 8.0 x 10^14 Hz.

Answer 1

Answer:

Wavelength of radiation is 0.375×10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of radiation = 8.0×10¹⁴ Hz

Wavelength of radiation = ?

Solution:

Frequency and wavelength of lights are inversely proportional to each other.

The wave of light having highest frequency have shortest wavelength and the light with the shortest frequency having highest wavelength.

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

c = λ × f

λ = c/f

This formula shows that both are inversely related to each other.

The speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency is taken in Hz.

It is the number of oscillations, wave of light make in one second.

Wavelength is designated as "λ" and it is the measured in meter. It is the distance between the two crust of two trough.

Now we will put the values in formula.

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s  / 8.0×10¹⁴ Hz

λ = 0.375×10⁻⁶ m
