To determine the new frequency of light with a wavelength of 3.0 x 10^(-7) m, we can use the wave equation:
c = λν
Where: c is the speed of light (approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s) λ is the wavelength ν is the frequency
Rearranging the equation, we have:
ν = c / λ
Substituting the given wavelength:
ν = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (3.0 x 10^(-7) m)
Simplifying the expression:
ν ≈ 10^15 Hz
Therefore, the new frequency of the light is approximately 10^15 Hz.
To determine the type of electromagnetic wave, we can refer to the electromagnetic spectrum. The frequency range you provided, 10^15 Hz, corresponds to the range of infrared light. Infrared light has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to visible light.
