The frequency : f = 4.478 x 10¹⁴ /s
Further explanation
Given
wavelength = 670 nm = 670 x 10⁻⁹ m = 6.7 x 10 ⁻⁷ m
Required
The frequency
Solution
Wavelength : from the crest to the crest of the next wave or the trough to the trough
Frequency (f): number of waves in one second
Can be formulated :
v = λ x f
f = v / λ
So the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength
v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s(speed of light)
Input the value :
f = 3 x 10⁸ m/s : 6.7 x 10 ⁻⁷ m
f = 4.478 x 10¹⁴ /s
