If the wavelength of red light is 650 x 10^-9 meters (or 6.50x10^-7m) and the speed of light (c) is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s , what is its frequency in Hz?(1/sec = Hz) , and c = (wavelength x frequency)

f = 4.6 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength  of light = 6.50x10^-7m

Speed of light = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s

Frequency of light = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of radiation = frequency × wavelength

by putting values,

3×10⁸ m/s  =  f × 6.50x10^-7m

f  =  3×10⁸ m/s   /  6.50x10^-7m

f  =  0.46 × 10¹⁵ s⁻¹

f = 0.46 × 10¹⁵ Hz

f = 4.6 × 10¹⁴ Hz
