What is the wavelength in micrometers of light with a frequency of 3.2 × 1012 Hz?
Accepted Answer
The wavelength of light can be calculated using the following equation: wavelength (λ) = speed of light (c) / frequency (ν). The speed of light is a constant, 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s. In this case, the frequency (ν) is 3.2 × 10¹² Hz. Therefore, the wavelength is: λ = (3.0 × 10⁸ m/s) / (3.2 × 10¹² Hz) = 9.375 × 10⁻⁵ m. Converting this to micrometers (μm), we get: 9.375 × 10⁻⁵ m
(10⁶ μm/m) = 93.75 μm.
