Practice question
Question
What is the frequency of light with a wavelength of 595 nm in air, given the speed of light in air is 3.0 × 10⁸m/s ?
Explanation
Given:
What is the frequency of light with a wavelength of 595 nm in air, given the speed of light in air is 3.0 × 10⁸m/s ?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Frequency nu = c/lambda.
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
lambda = 5.95 × 10⁻⁷m, c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s . nu = frac3.0 × 10⁸⁵.95 × 10⁻⁷approx 5.04 × 10¹⁴Hz .
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
