Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wavelength ($\lambda$) of a photon can be calculated using the formula $\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$, where $c$ is the speed of light ($3.00 \times 10^8$ m/s) and $f$ is the frequency. Given the frequency $f = 54.1 \times 10^{12}$ Hz (or 54.1 THz), the wavelength is $\lambda = \frac{3.00 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}{54.1 \times 10^{12} \text{ Hz}} = 5.55 \times 10^{-6}$ m, which is 5.55 nm.
