Question

URGENT!!!

Calculate the frequency of violet light if the wavelength in air is 430nm.

* speed.of violet light in the prism = 2×10^8 m/s
* 1nm = 10^-9
* velocity of light in air = 3×10^8 m/s​

Answer 1

Answer:

$f=6.97\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength, $\lambda=430\ nm=430\times 10^{-9}\ m$

We need to find the frequency of the violet light.

We know that the relation between frequency and wavelength is given by :

$f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{430\times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=6.97\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

So, the frequency of violet light is $6.97\times 10^{14}\ Hz$.
