Concept explainers
Which
a) 10 nm
b) 10 mm
c) 1 nm
d) 1 mm
To determine: The wavelength having the highest frequency.
Answer to Problem 1SAQ
Correct answer: The highest frequency will be for
Explanation of Solution
Justify the reasons for the correct statement:
Frequency
The wavelength of light is
This is the shortest wavelength. So, it will have the highest frequency.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as
The wavelength of light is
So, it is an incorrect answer.
Option (b) is given as
The wavelength of light is
So, it is an incorrect answer.
Option (d) is given as
The wavelength of light is
So, it is an incorrect answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect.
