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 × 10¹⁴ B)5.71 × 10⁵ C)1.58 × 10² D)1.58 × 10¹¹ 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 (3.00 × 10^8 m/s) and λ is the wavelength (525 nm or 525 × 10^-9 m). Substituting the values, f = (3.00 × 10^8 m/s) / (525 × 10^-9 m) = 5.71 × 10^14 s^-1.
