Question

What is the frequency of light with a wavelength of 500 nm?

Answer 1

The frequency of light can be calculated using the equation:

$c=\lambda \times f$

where: $c$ is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately $3\times 10^8$ meters per second), $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light, and $f$ is the frequency of light.

Rearranging the equation, we have:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda }$

Given a wavelength of 500 nm (nanometers), we need to convert it to meters by dividing by $10^9$ (since there are $10^9$ nanometers in a meter):

$\lambda =\frac{500}{10^9}$ meters.

Substituting the values into the equation:

$f=\frac{}{10^9}$
