The wavelength of a specific photon in the x-ray is 5 x 10-9 meters. Given that the speed of light is 2.998 x 108 m/s, what would be the frequency of this x-ray?

Respuesta :

0.5996 * 1017 Hz (waves/second)
C= f L
Inthis case,
C=Speed of light,
 f=frequency and
L=(lamda) wavelength 

We know that C = 2.998 x 108 m/s and L = 5x 10-9 meters, so the frequency would be

2.998 x10^8 = f (5x10^-9) 

f = 2.998 x10^8 / (5x10^-9)
f =  0.5996 x 1017 HZ
