Calculate the frequency of visible light having a wavelength of 486 nm. A) 2.06 * 10¹⁴ /s B) 2.06 * 10⁶ /s C) 6.17 * 10¹⁴ /s D) 1.20 * 10^-15 /s E) 4.86 * 10^-7 /s

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency (ν) is calculated using the formula ν = c/λ, where c is the speed of light (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) and λ is the wavelength (486 nm = 486 x 10^-9 m). This gives ν = 6.17 x 10^14 /s.
