Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of electromagnetic radiation can be calculated using the formula $f = \frac{c}{\lambda}$, where $c$ is the speed of light ($3.0 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}$) and $\lambda$ is the wavelength. Substituting $\lambda = 2.3 \, \text{m}$ gives $f = \frac{3.0 \times 10^8}{2.3} \approx 1.3 \times 10^8 \, \text{s}^{-1}$.
