Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 525 nm appears as green light to the human eye. The frequency of this light is s^-¹. A) 5.71 × 10⁵ B) 1.58 × 10² C) 1.58 × 10¹¹ D) 5.71 × 10¹⁴ E) 1.75 × 10^-¹⁵

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency (f) of light can be calculated using the formula f = c/λ, where c is the speed of light (approximately 3.00 × 10^8 m/s) and λ is the wavelength (525 nm or 525 × 10^-9 m). This calculation gives a frequency of approximately 5.71 × 10^14 s^-1.
