Question

What is the wavelength of an x-ray that has a frequency 7.8×10^17

Answer 1

Answer:

λ = 0.38 ×10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

Wavelength of xray = ?

Frequency of xray = 7.8 ×10¹⁷ Hz

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Now we will put the values in formula.

3×10⁸ m/s = λ × 7.8 ×10¹⁷ Hz

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s / 7.8 ×10¹⁷ Hz

        Hz = s⁻¹

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s / 7.8 ×10¹⁷s⁻¹

λ = 0.38 ×10⁻⁹ m

Answer 2

Answer: = 0.38 ×10⁻⁹ m

Explanation: Given data:  Frequency of x-ray = 7.8 ×10¹⁷ Hz

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Now we will put the values in the formula.

3×10⁸ m/s = λ × 7.8 ×10¹⁷ Hz

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s / 7.8 ×10¹⁷ Hz

      Hz = s⁻¹

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s / 7.8 ×10¹⁷s⁻¹

λ = 0.38 ×10⁻⁹ m
