Calculate the wavelength (in nm)of the light emitted by a neon sign with a frequency of 4.60 × 10¹⁴ Hz. A) 651 nm B) 1254 nm C) 730 nm D) 339 nm E) 440 nm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wavelength can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light is approximately 3.00 × 10^8 m/s. Converting the frequency to wavelength: (3.00 × 10^8 m/s) / (4.60 × 10^14 Hz) = 6.52 × 10^-7 m, which is 652 nm. The closest option is 651 nm.
