Question

Find the length of the smallest standing wave that can be formed with light having frequency 600 THz

Answer 1

Answer:

$L=2.5*10^-^7m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Frequency of light  $f= 600 THz$

Generally the equation for wave is mathematically given as

$\lambda=\frac{c}{\gamma}$

Where

$1THz=10^1^2$

$\lambda=\frac{3*10^8}{600*10^1^2}$

$\lambda=0.5*10^-^6m$

Generally the equation for a fundamental Frequency  is mathematically given as

$L=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

$L=\frac{0.5*10^-^6}{2}$

Therefore the length of the smallest standing wave

$L=2.5*10^-^7m$
