Question

Calculate the wavelength of light that has a frequency of 5.2 x 1012 1/s.

Answer 1

Answer:

Wavelength = 5.77 * 10^-5 meters.

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Frequency of light = 5.2 *10^12 Hz

We know that the Speed of light = 3.0 * 10^8 m/s

To find the wavelength of light;

Mathematically, wavelength is calculated using this formula;

$Wavelength = \frac {speed}{frequency}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Wavelength = \frac {3*10^{8}}{5.2 *10^{12}}$

Wavelength = 5.77 * 10^-5 meters.
