Question 23 (5 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

λ = 6.25 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

x-ray

General Formulas and Concepts:

Speed of Light = Wavelength times Frequency

• c = λν

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

C = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

ν  = 4.80 × 10¹⁷ Hz (s⁻¹)

λ = unknown

Step 2: Solve for wavelength

3.0 × 10⁸ m/s = λ(4.80 × 10¹⁷ Hz)

λ = 6.25 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

Step 3: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.

6.25 has 3 sig figs. No changes necessary.

Step 4: Identify

6.25 × 10⁻¹⁰ m is in the x-ray spectrum according the the Electromagnetic Spectrum
