Answered by maham237 @



Answer : The frequency of this yellow light is, 5.172\times 10^{14}s^{-1}

Explanation : Given,

Wavelength of yellow light = 580nm=580\times 10^{-9}m

conversion used : 1nm=1\times 10^{-9}m

Formula used :

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

where,

\nu = frequency of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{580\times 10^{-9}m}=5.172\times 10^{14}s^{-1}

Therefore, frequency of this yellow light is, 5.172\times 10^{14}s^{-1}
