Infrared waves from the sun are what make our skin feel warm on a sunny day. If an infrared wave has a frequency of 3.0 x 1012 H

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of the infrared wave is <u>0.0001 m</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of an infrared wave is, $f=3.0\times 10^{12}\ Hz$

We know that, infrared waves are electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves travel with the same speed and their magnitude is equal to the speed of light in air.

So, speed of infrared waves coming from the Sun travels with the speed of light and thus its magnitude is given as:

$v=c=3.0\times 10^8\ m/s$
