The brightest light detected from the star Antares has a frequency of about $3 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{Hz}$. What is the wavelength of this light?
Added by Beatriz R.
Step 1
This relationship is given by the equation \(c = \lambda f\), where \(c\) is the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately \(3 \times 10^8\) meters per second (\(m/s\)). Show more…
