Question

What is the frequency of green light that has a wavelength of 5.14 x 10^-7m?

Answer 1

Answer:

Frecuency = 5,83x10⁻⁷ Hz

Explanation:

The equation that connects wavelenght and frequency is given by:

λ = c/ν

λ=wavelenght (expressed in lenght´s units)

c= speed of light (3x10⁸ m/sec)

ν=frequency (expressed in units of time⁻¹ or Herzt)

In our case, λ=5,14x10⁻⁷ m , so replacing in our previous formula, this gives us the final result of ν (frequency for green light) of 5,83x10¹⁴ Hz (or Herzt)
