Humans have three types of cone cells in their eyes, which are responsible for color vision. Each type absorbs a certain part of the visible spectrum. Suppose a particular cone cell absorbs light with a wavelength of 430. nm . Calculate the frequency of this light. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer:

The frequency of this light is [tex]6.98\times 10^{14} s^{-1}[/tex].

Explanation:

Wavelength of the light = [tex]\lambda = 430 nm=4.30\times 10^{-7} m[/tex]

Speed of the light = c = [tex]= 3\times 10^8 m/s[/tex]

Frequency of the light = [tex]\nu [/tex]

[tex]\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }[/tex]

[tex]\nu =\frac{3\times 10^8 m/s}{4.30\times 10^{-7} m}=6.98\times 10^{14} s^{-1}[/tex]

The frequency of this light is [tex]6.98\times 10^{14} s^{-1}[/tex].
