Question

A student observing several line emission spectra for multiple elements recorded the frequencies seen below for some of those electromagnetic waves. Determine the wavelength (?) for each of the frequency values provided. Your answer must be entered in scientific notation correctly rounded to three significant figures.

v = 7.175 x 1015 Hz
v = 1.275 x 1015 s-1
v = 4.440 x 1015 s-1
v = 3.385 x 1015 s-1
v = 1.100 x 1015 Hz

Expert Solution

Step 1

The frequency and wavelength of any electromagnetic wave can be related by the below given formula.

$λ = \frac{c}{ν} H e r e λ i s w a v e l e n g t h ν i s f r e q u e n c y a n d c i s t h e s p e e d o f e l e c t r o m a g n e t i c w a v e, i . e, 3 \times 10^{8} m / s$

So, we can put above value of given frequencies in the above relation formula.
