The wavelength of light visible to the human eye is on the order of 5 *10 ^- ⁷ m.If the speed of light in air is 3 * 10⁸ m/s,find the frequency of the lightwave. A)3 *10⁷ Hz B)4 * 10⁹ Hz C)5 * 10¹¹ Hz D)6* 10¹⁴ Hz E)4 * 10¹⁵ Hz

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of light can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Substituting the given values: frequency = (3 x 10^8 m/s) / (5 x 10^-7 m) = 6 x 10^14 Hz.
