Answer:
f = 6 × 10^15 Hz in the ULTRAVIOLET (UV) region
Explanation:
Using λ = v/f
Where;
λ = wavelength (m)
v = speed of light (3 × 10^8m/s)
f = frequency (Hz)
According to this question, λ = 5.00 x 10^-6 cm
= 5.00 x 10^-8 m
λ = v/f
f = v/λ
f = 3 × 10^8 ÷ 5.00 x 10^-8
f = 0.6 × 10^(8+8)
f = 0.6 × 10^16
f = 6 × 10^15 Hz
In the electromagnetic spectrum (EM), a frequency of 10^15 is found in the ULTRAVIOLET region. This means that this radiation with a wavelength of 5.00 x 10^-6 cm and frequency of 6 × 10^15 Hz is in the ULTRAVIOLET region of the EM spectrum.
