Answer:- Frequency is [tex]5.4*10^1^4Hz[/tex] .
Solution:- frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other and the equation used is:
[tex]\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }[/tex]
where, [tex]\nu [/tex] is frequency, c is speed of light and [tex]\lambda [/tex] is the wavelength.
Speed of light is [tex]3.0*10^8m/s[/tex] .
We need to convert the wavelength from nm to m.
( [tex]1nm=10^-^9m[/tex] )
[tex]550nm(\frac{10^-^9m}{1nm})[/tex]
= [tex]5.5*10^-^7m[/tex]
Now, let's plug in the values in the equation to calculate the frequency:
[tex]\nu =\frac{3.0*10^8m.s^-^1}{5.5*10^-^7m}[/tex]
= [tex]5.4*10^1^4s^-^1[/tex] or [tex]5.4*10^1^4Hz[/tex]
since, [tex]1s^-^1=1Hz[/tex]
So, the frequency of the green light photon is [tex]5.4*10^1^4Hz[/tex] .
