The human eye is very sensitive to light having a wavelength of 5.51 ✕ 10-7 m, which is in the green-yellow region of the visible electromagnetic spectrum. What is the frequency of this light?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]F = 5.44 * 10^{14}\ Hz[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Wavelength = 5.51 * 10^{-7}m[/tex]

Required

Determine the Frequency (F)

Represent the wavelength with W

The relationship between W and F is:

[tex]F = \frac{c}{W}[/tex]

Where

c = Speed of Light

[tex]c = 3 * 10^8 m/s[/tex]

Substitute values for c and W

[tex]F = \frac{3 * 10^8}{5.51 * 10^{-7}}[/tex]

[tex]F = \frac{3 * 10^{8+7}}{5.51}[/tex]

[tex]F = 0.5444646098 * 10^{8+7}[/tex]

[tex]F = 0.5444646098 * 10^{15}[/tex]

[tex]F = 5.444646098 * 10^{14}[/tex]

[tex]F = 5.44 * 10^{14}\ Hz[/tex]
