Question

What is the frequency of an xray with a wavelength of 2x10-10m?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 x 10¹⁸hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Wavelength  = 2 x 10⁻¹⁰m

Unknown:

Frequency   = ?

Solution:

To find the frequency, use the expression below;

  V  = f x wavelength

V is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸m/s

f is the frequency

Now;

 Insert the parameters

     3 x 10⁸  = 2 x 10⁻¹⁰ x frequency

   Wavelength = $\frac{3 x 10^{8} }{2 x 10^{-10} }$    = 1.5 x 10¹⁸hz
