Given: the wavelength of the red light, λ₁ = 7000°A
To Find: the wavelength of the red light, λ₂ in μm.
Solution:
To calculate λ₂, the concept used:
- Wavelength is measured in meters (m), which means the meter is the SI unit of the wavelength.
- It can also be measured in centimeters, millimeters, micrometers, and angstrom.
- Angstrom is denoted as "°A" and a micrometer is denoted as "μm".
- 1 °A = 10⁻¹⁰ m
- 1 μm = 10⁻⁶ m
Applying the above formula:
1 °A = 1 / 10000μm
= 0.0001 μm
= 10⁻⁴ μm
7000 °A = 10⁻⁴ x 7000
= 7000 x 10⁻⁴
= 7 x 10³ x 10⁻⁴
= 7 x 10 ⁻¹
= 7 / 10
= 0.7 μm
7000 °A = 0.7 μm
λ₂ = 0.7 μm
Hence, the wavelength of 7000°A in μm is 0.7 μm or 7 x 10 ⁻¹μm.
