Chapter 5.1, Problem 5.7QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To determine the given wavelength of orange light i.e. 6.3 × 10-5 in meters and nanometres.

Concept introduction:

Wavelength: It may be defined as the distance between two successive crest of a wave. Unit of wavelength is ‘nm’.

Generally, wavelength of radiations is very short. Therefore, it is usually measure in nanometres.

And,

  $\text{1}\text{cm}\text{=}\text{0}\text{.01}\text{m}\text{=}{\text{10}}^{\text{7}}\text{nm}$
