What is the frequency of light having a wavelength of 360 nm? (c = 3.00 x 108 m/s) A) 8.3 × 10¹⁴ s^-1 B) 1.2 × 10^-6 s^-1 C) 8.3 × 10⁵ s^-1 D) 108 s^-1 E) 1.2 × 10^-15 s^-1

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency (f) can be calculated using the formula f = c/λ, where c is the speed of light (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) and λ is the wavelength (360 nm or 360 x 10^-9 m). This gives f = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s / 360 x 10^-9 m = 8.3 x 10^14 s^-1.
