Light of wavelength 500 nm travels in a vacuum. What is its frequency? ( m/s)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Hz
- Step 1: with m.
- Step 2: Hz.
Answer
Hz.
Why not the others: Hz: the wavelength was divided by the speed. Hz: the wavelength was entered as 500 m. Hz: the wavelength was converted as micrometres.
