In this lesson, we will learn how to use the speed of light to convert between wavelengths and frequencies of electromagnetic waves.
Q1:
A uranium-237 nucleus decays, emitting a gamma ray with a wavelength of 5.96 pm. What is the frequency of the gamma ray?
Q2:
Microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 2.45 GHz to provide heat. What is the wavelength of this radiation?
Q3:
Chlorophyll strongly absorbs light with a wavelength 680 nm. What is the frequency of this light?
