Exercise 14
Step 1
1 of 2
We know

$f=5.25times 10^{14}$ Hz.

Wavelength $lambda$ is given by

$$
lambda=frac{c}{f}=frac{(3times 10^8 m/s)}{(5.25times 10^{14} Hz)}=5.71times 10^{-7} m=571 nm
$$

Result
2 of 2
571 nm
Exercise 15
Step 1
1 of 2
Speed of the light remains same. So the wavelength of the light is inversely proportional to the frequency. So if the wavelength of the light is increased, the frequency will decrease.
Result
2 of 2
Decrease.
Exercise 16
Step 1
1 of 2
Known

$$
lambda=620 {rm nm}=620times10^{-9} {rm m}
$$

$$
h=1.8 {rm m}
$$

Unknown:

number of wavelength $n=?$

$$
n=frac{h}{lambda}=frac{left(1.8 {rm m}right)}{left(620times10^{-9} {rm m}right)}=2.90times10^{6}
$$

Result
2 of 2
$$
2.90times10^{6}
$$
Exercise 17
Step 1
1 of 2
Known:

$$
lambda=0.30 {rm nm}=0.30times10^{-9} {rm m}
$$

$$
c=3times10^{8} {rm m/s}
$$

Unknown:

$$
f=?
$$

We know

$$
f=frac{c}{lambda}=frac{left(3times10^{8} {rm m/s}right)}{left(0.30times10^{-9} {rm m}right)}=1.0times10^{18} {rm Hz}
$$

Result
2 of 2
$1.0times10^{18}$ Hz
