Question
### Determining the Wavelength of Blue Light **Problem Statement:** What is the wavelength of blue light that has a frequency of \(6.68 \times 10^{14} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)? Given: \(c = 3.00 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}\). **Solution:** To find the wavelength (\(\lambda\)) of light, use the equation that relates speed of light (\(c\)), frequency (\(f\)), and wavelength (\(\lambda\)): \[ c = \lambda \times f \] Solve for wavelength (\(\lambda\)): \[ \lambda = \frac{c}{f} \] Plug in the given values: \[ \lambda = \frac{3.00 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}}{6.68 \times 10^{14} \, \text{s}^{-1}} \] **Additional Features:** - A calculator is present on the right for computation. - Students are to input the solution in the provided space marked by "m".
