Answer to Question #280634 in General Chemistry for Crash

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
