The frequency of yellow light is 4.7x 10^14 Hz. Find the wavelength of yellow light.

Question

The frequency of yellow light is 4.7x10^14 Hz. Find the wavelength of yellow light. The speed of light is 300 000 km/s.

___________m

Answer 1

This is a fairly straightforward question: C(speed of light)=f(frequency)times wavelength. You know the frequency and speed of light... just devide the speed of light by the freuquency and you get 6.38x10^-7m. Perhaps you forgot to convert the speed of light from kilometers into meters?

Answer 2

The relation between frequency and wavelength is



    frequency=velocity of light/wavelength

wavelength=(3*10^8)/4.7*10^14

Answer 3

Thats easy. You'll get the answer straight away by dividing the velocity with the frequency. but u'll first have to convert the velocity into m/s bcoz thats the S.I unit.
