Question

what is the frequency of a wavelength if its wavelength is 3.6 x 10^-9m and its velocity is 3.o x 10^8 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

Frequency of the wave = 8.33  × 10¹⁶  Hz

Explanation:

• We can use the wave equation to solve this problem:

v = f λ

where:

v = velocity of wave (3.0 × 10⁸ m/s)

f = frequency of wave (?)

λ = wavelength of wave (3.6 × 10⁻⁹ m)

• Substituting these values into the equation:

3.0 × 10⁸  =  f   ×  3.6 × 10⁻⁹

f = (3.0 × 10⁸) ÷ (3.6 × 10⁻⁹)

f = 8.33  × 10¹⁶  Hz
