Question

Using the equation and the value of the speed of light constant identified in the previous parts, solve for the frequency, in Hertz, of a wavelength of 295 nm

Answer 1

c = λv

c is the speed of light, or 2.998 x 10⁸ m/s;

λ is the wavelength, or 295 nm from the given information;

v is the frequency, the variable we are trying to find.

v = c / λ = 2.998 x 10⁸ / 295 = 1 016 271 Hertz = 1 x 10⁶ Hz
