What is the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 5.00 x 10^12 Hz? What kind of electromagnetic radiation is this?

Sagot :

Answer: 5.98  ×  10⁻⁵ m  (Infrared)

Explanation:

wavelength = speed of light  ÷  frequency

wavelength =  (2.99 × 10⁸  m/s)  ÷ (5.00 x 10¹²  /s)

                    =   5.98  ×  10⁻⁵ m

Since radiation in the range, 10⁻³ to 7 × 10⁻⁷ is considered Infrared radiation, then the wave is an infrared wave.
