The speed of all electromagnetic waves is 3.00 × 108 meters per second. What is the wavelength of an X-ray with a frequency of 1.18 × 1018 Hz?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

It is given that,

The speed of electromagnetic wave, [tex]v=3\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]

Frequency of x-ray, [tex]\nu=1.18\times 10^{18}\ m/s[/tex]

We need to find the wavelength of an x - ray. The speed of a wave is given by the product of frequency and the wavelength. It is given by using relation as :

[tex]v=\nu \times \lambda[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{v}{\nu}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{1.18\times 10^{18}}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=2.54\times 10^{-10}\ m[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
