The wavelength of light is typically expressed in meters (m), not meters per second (m/s). However, the speed of light is commonly denoted as "c" and is equal to approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s).
To calculate the wavelength of light (λ) in meters (m), you need to know the frequency of the light (ν) in hertz (Hz). The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and the speed of light is given by the equation:
c = λν
Rearranging the equation, we can solve for the wavelength (λ):
λ = c/ν
where: λ = wavelength of light in meters (m) c = speed of light in meters per second (m/s) ν = frequency of light in hertz (Hz)
By substituting the appropriate values for the speed of light and the frequency of the light, you can calculate the wavelength in meters.
