Answer:[tex]\lambda=3(10)^{11}nm[/tex]

Explanation:

The speed of light (electromagnetic wave) is given by the following formula:

[tex]c=f.\lambda[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]c=3(10)^{8}\frac{m}{s}[/tex] is the speed of light  

[tex]f=1(10)^{6}Hz[/tex] the frequency

[tex]\lambda[/tex] the wavelength

So, we have to find [tex]\lambda[/tex] from (1):

[tex]\lambda=\frac{c}{f}[/tex]   (2)

[tex]\lambda=\frac{3(10)^{8}\frac{m}{s}}{1(10)^{6}Hz}[/tex]  

[tex]\lambda=300m[/tex]  

But we are asked to find the wavelength in nm. If we know [tex]1nm=(10)^{-9}m[/tex], then:

[tex]\lambda=300m.\frac{1nm}{(10)^{-9}m}=3(10)^{11}nm[/tex]  

Finally:

[tex]\lambda=3(10)^{11}nm[/tex]  

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave is 1 × 10⁶, the wavelength of the wave is 300nm.

HOW TO CALCULATE WAVELENGTH:

  • The wavelength of a wave can be calculated by using the following formula:

λ = v/f

  1. λ = wavelength of the wave (nm).
  2. v = speed of light (3 × 10⁸m/s)
  3. f = frequency of wave (Hz)

  • According to this question, the frequency of an electromagnetic wave is 1 × 10⁶. The wavelength can be calculated as follows:

λ = 3 × 10⁸ ÷ 1 × 10⁶

λ = 3 × 10⁸-⁶

λ = 3 × 10²nm

  • Therefore, if the frequency of an electromagnetic wave is 1 × 10⁶, the wavelength of the wave is 300nm.
