Earth's outer core is a fluid layer about 2,400 km (1,500 mi) thick and composed of mostly iron and nickel that lies above Earth's solid inner core and below its mantle. Its outer boundary lies 2,890 km (1,800 mi) beneath Earth's surface. ... Unlike the inner (or solid) core, the outer core is liquid.

What is the (a) frequency and (b) wavelength (in nm) of a source of purple light at the edge of the visible light spectrum?

stiv31 [10]

Answer: a) $Frequency=666\times10^{12}Hz-789\times10^{12}Hz$

b) $Wavelength=380nm-450nm$

Explanation: Visible light is a form of electromagnetic wave.

Wavelength is defined as the distance between two successive crests of a wave. It is represented as symbol $\lambda$ .

Frequency is defined as the number of complete cycles happening per second. It is represented by the symbol $\nu$ .

Wavelength and Frequency follow inverse relation,

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

where, c = speed of light = $3\times10^8m/s$

Wavelength and frequency of a wave is usually expressed in a range.

a) $\text{Frequency of visible light}=666\times10^{12}Hz-789\times10^{12}Hz$

b) $\text{Wavelength of visible light}=380nm-450nm$
