Question

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 525 nm appears as green light to the human eye. The frequency of this light is ________ s-1.

Answer 1

To determine the frequency of light, use the formula that compares both the frequency to the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave.

F = 1/ wavelength

F = 1/525 = 0.0019.

Make sure to convert units to do calculation.
