The equation relating velocity and wavelength is written below:
v = λf
where λ is the wavelength in m while f is frequency in 1/s.
Let's determine first the frequency from the speed of light:
c = distance/time, where c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
3×10⁸ m/s = (300 mm)(1 m/1000 mm)/ time
time = 1×10⁻⁹ seconds
Since f = 1/t,
f = 1/1×10⁻⁹ seconds = 10⁹ s⁻¹
Thus,
v = (795×10⁻⁹ m)(10⁹ s⁻¹)
v = 795 m/s

<span>Since the oil slick consists of a single layer, then the thickness of the oil slick is 0.488 nm. When we multiply the thickness of the oil slick by the area A, then we should get the volume of the oil slick 0.708 m^3.
We can set up an equation to find the area A.
(A)(0.488 nm) = 0.708 m^3
A = 0.708 m^3 / 0.488 nm
A = 0.708 m^3 / 0.488 X 10^{-9} m
A = (0.708 / 0.488) X 10^9 m^2
A = 1.45 X 10^9 m^2
The area of the oil slick is 1.45 X 10^9 m^2</span>
