What is the frequency of an orange light with a wavelength of 483 nm 10 Hz Please explain how to solve as well Im very confused class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

6.21 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

The frequency can be found using the following equation:

λ = c / f

In this equation,

-----> λ = wavelength (m)

-----> c = speed of light (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s)

-----> f = frequency (Hz)

After converting the wavelength from nm to m, you can plug the given values into the equation and simplify to find the frequency.

 483 nm                 1 m
---------------  x  ---------------------  =  4.83 x 10⁻⁷ m
                          1 x 10⁹ nm

λ = c / f                                                         <----- Given equation

4.83 x 10⁻⁷ m = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s / f                 <----- Insert values

(4.83 x 10⁻⁷ m) x f = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s              <----- Multiply both sides by f

f = 6.21 x 10¹⁴ Hz                                       <----- Divide both sides by 4.83 x 10⁻⁷
