Question

A light wave travels through space at a speed of 3 x 108 m/s. If the wavelength of some light wave is 2 x10-3 m, what is the frequency of the wave?


6.67 x 10-12 Hz

1.5 x1011 Hz

6 x105 Hz

2 x 10-3 Hz

Answer 1

Here is your answer

b) $\huge 1.5× {10}^{11} Hz$

REASON :

We know that

Velocity= Frequency× Wavelength

So,

Frequency= Velocity/wavelength

Here,

V= 3× 10^8 m/s

Wavelength= 2×10^-3 m

Hence,

Frequency= 3×10^8/2×10^-3

= 3/2 × 10^11

= 1.5× 10^11 Hz
