Question
Visible light having a wavelength of $5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{m}$ appears green. Compute the frequency and energy of a photon of this light.
Step 1
We can use the formula for the speed of light, $c = \lambda \nu$, where $\nu$ is the frequency of the light, to find the frequency. Show more…

Green light has a wavelength of $5.20 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{m}$ and travels through the air at a speed of $3.00 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. Calculate the frequency and the period of green light waves with this wavelength.
What is the frequency of green light if its wavelength is 4.95 x 10^-7m?
