A sodium vapor lamp emits light waves with a frequency of 5.26 x 1014 Hz. What is the wavelength of the light?

Respuesta :

Answer:

570 nm

Explanation:

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

[tex]\lambda=\frac{c}{f}[/tex]

where

[tex]c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s[/tex] is the speed of light (the speed of the electromagnetic waves in a vacuum)

[tex]f=5.26\cdot 10^{14} Hz[/tex] is the frequency of the emitted light

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we can find [tex]\lambda[/tex], the wavelength of the emitted light:

[tex]\lambda=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{5.26\cdot 10^{14} Hz}=5.70\cdot 10^{-7} m = 570 nm[/tex]
