If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave is 6.0 x 108 Hz, what is its wavelength?
The frequency and length of the electromagnetic wave are related by the formula
"\\lambda =\\frac{c}{\\nu}"
Where "c=3 \\cdot 10^{8}m\/s" - speed of light
Then we write
"\\lambda =\\frac{c}{\\nu} =\\frac{3 \\cdot 10^{8}m\/s}{6 \\cdot 10^{8}1\/s}=0.5 m"
