Respuesta :

the answer is 5.8 x 10-7m

your welcome

The required wavelength of the yellow light is [tex]5.8\times10^{-7}[/tex] m

The correct option is (A).

Wavelength:

The wavelength can be calculated when frequency and speed of the wave are given as

wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] = [tex]\frac{v}{f}[/tex]

where v is the velocity of the wave and f be the frequency of the wave.

How to calculate wavelength?

Here we have given that

The frequency f = [tex]5.2 \times10^{14}[/tex] Hz

The speed v = [tex]3 \times10^{8}[/tex] m/s

Therefore substitute into above formula

Wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex]= [tex]\frac{3\times10^{8}}{5.2\times10^{14}}}[/tex]

Wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{5.2}\times10^{8-14}[/tex]

Wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] = [tex]0.5769\times10^{-6}[/tex]

Wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] = [tex]0.5769\times10^{-6}[/tex]

Wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] = [tex]5.769\times10^{-7}[/tex]

Wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex]= [tex]5.8\times10^{-7}}[/tex] m

Therefore the correct option is (A).
