Chapter 7, Problem 38E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The longest wavelength and the highest frequency electromagnetic radiation are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The distance between two consecutive crests of a wave is called wavelength.

Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a fixed point per second.

The relation between wavelength and frequency of radiation is as follows:

$\lambda =\frac{c}{\nu }$

Here, $\lambda$ is the wavelength of radiation, $c$ is the speed of light, and $\nu$ is the frequency.
