Answer:
4.13×10⁻⁷ m
Explanation:
Applying
v = λf………………. Equation 1
Wherfe v = speed of light, λ = wavelength of light, f = frequency of light.
make λ the subject of the equation
λ = v/f………………….. Equation 2
Note: Light is an electromagnetic wave, and all electromagnetic wave moves with thesame speed which is 3×10⁸ m/s.
From the question,
Given: f = 7.26×10¹⁴ Hz
Constant: v = 3×10⁸ m/s
Substitute these values into equation 2
λ = (3×10⁸)/(7.26×10¹⁴)
λ = 4.13×10⁻⁷ m
