An ultraviolet light wave has a wavelength of 300 nm and speed of 2.1 x 10⁸m/s through a transparent medium.What is the frequency of this wave in the medium? (1 nm = 10^-9 m and c = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency (f) is calculated using the formula f = v/λ, where v is the speed of the wave in the medium and λ is the wavelength. Substituting the given values, f = (2.1 x 10^8 m/s) / (300 x 10^-9 m) = 7.0 x 10^14 Hz.
