a lazer emits light of frequency 4.74 x 1014 Hz.What is the wavelength of the light in nm?(1 x 106 m)​

Sagot :

[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]

The wavelength of an electromagnetic (EM) wave is given by

[tex]\boxed{\lambda = \frac{c}{f}}[/tex]

where:

λ = wavelength

c = speed of light in vacuum = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

Solving for the wavelength

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{c}{f}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{3 \times 10^{8} \: \text{m/s}}{4.74 \times 10^{14} \: \text{Hz}}[/tex]

λ = 6.33 × 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 6.33 × 10⁻⁷ m × (1 nm / 1 × 10⁻⁹ m)

[tex]\boxed{\lambda = \text{633 nm}}[/tex]

Therefore, the wavelength is 633 nm.
