Question

The frequency of an electromagnetic (EM) wave is 6 × 101410^{14}​ Hz. The wavelength of the EM wave is _________, and it falls in the range ___________.

A.

500 nm, visible rays

B.

0.5 mm, microwaves

C.

500 mm, infrared waves

D.

50 nm, UV rays

Correct option is A

Given:Frequency of the EM wave, f=6×1014 HzSpeed of light, c=3×108 m/sλ=cfλ=3×1086×1014=0.5×106 m=500 nm\text{Given:} \\\text{Frequency of the EM wave, } f = 6 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \\\text{Speed of light, } c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \\\lambda = \frac{c}{f} \\\lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{6 \times 10^{14}} = 0.5 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m} = 500 \, \text{nm}

A wavelength of 500 nm falls within the visible light range (approximately 400–700 nm).​​
