Question

Find the period of an electromagnetic wave of wavelength 2.20 × 10–2 m. A. 1.36 × 1010 s c. 7.33 × 10–11 s b. 4.54 × 101 s d. 6.60 × 106 s

Answer 1

Answer:

7.33 * 10^-11 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Period, T = 1 / f

c = fλ

λ = 2.20 × 10^–2 m

c = speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m

f = c / λ

f = 3 * 10^8 ÷ 2.20 × 10^–2 m

f = (3/2.2) * 10^(8-(-2))

f = 1.364 * 10^10

T = 1/f

T = 1 / 1.364 * 10^10

T = 7.33 * 10^-11 s
