Question
Triton Hz Galatea Naiad Thalassa- Despina Larissa Proteus Credits: IMAGE: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScl; IMAGE PROCESSING: Joseph DePasquale (STScl), Naomi Rowe-Gurney (NASA-GSFC) The James Webb Space Telescope image of Neptune shown above was taken using the NIRCam instrument, which creates images using light with wavelengths between 0.6 and 5 microns. That spans a little bit of yellow and red visible light (0.6 microns to about 0.8 microns) but is mostly "near" infrared (up to 5 microns). What is the frequency of light that has a wavelength of 2.80 microns?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Velocity of light is found to be 299792458 m/s that is approximately 3 ×108 m/s.

 Velocity of light ( c ) = frequency (v) × wavelength of light (λ)

                               c = vλ
