Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of radiation can be calculated using the formula $f = \frac{c}{\lambda}$, where $c$ is the speed of light ($3.00 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}$ or $3.00 \times 10^{10} \, \text{cm/s}$) and $\lambda$ is the wavelength. Given the wavelength $\lambda = 4.59 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{cm}$, the frequency $f$ is calculated as $f = \frac{3.00 \times 10^{10}}{4.59 \times 10^{-8}} = 6.54 \times 10^{17} \, \text{s}^{-1}$.
