The distinctive green color is caused by the interaction of the radiation with oxygen and has a frequency of 5.38 x 1014 Hz. What is the wavelength of this light?
Answers
Answer:
⭐The wavelength of light (or other waves) is the distance between subsequent crests, valleys, or other fixed points. The frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second. Frequency and wavelength are related terms used to describe electromagnetic radiation or light. One simple equation is used to convert between them:
⭐frequency x wavelength = speed of light
⭐λ v = c, when λ is wavelength, v is frequency, and c is the speed of light
⭐so
⭐wavelength = speed of light / frequency
⭐frequency = speed of light / wavelength
⭐The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. The usual unit for frequency is Hertz or Hz, which is 1 oscillation per second. Wavelength is reported in units of distance, which often ranges from nanometers to meters. Conversions between frequency and wavelength most often involve wavelength in meters because that's how most people remember the speed of light in a vacuum.
