Answer:
7.5 × 10¹⁵ Hz
Explanation:
Given data
- Wavelength of the radio waves (λ): 40 nm = 40 × 10⁻⁹ m = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ m
- Frequency of the radio waves (ν): ?
- Speed of light (c): 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s
We can determine the frequency of the radio waves using the following expression.
c = λ × ν
ν = c/λ
ν = (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)/4.0 × 10⁻⁸ m
ν = 7.5 × 10¹⁵ s⁻¹ = 7.5 × 10¹⁵ Hz
