Calculate the wavelength...

Question

(λ, to three sigs) of a photon of light with a frequency (ν) of 6.165 x 10 ^14 Hz.

Answer 1

Frequency, wavelength, and speed of light can be related by the equation f = c/λ, where f = frequency, c = speed of light, and λ = wavelength.

Speed of light is a constant value known to be 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s, and frequency is given as 6.165 x 10¹⁴ Hz (aka 1/s)

Solving our equation for wavelength, we get λ = c/f

Plugging in our numbers we get λ = (3.00 x 10⁸ m/s) / (6.165 x 10¹⁴ Hz) = 4.87 x 10^-7 m
