What is the frequency of a red laser beam, with a wavelength of 670 nm, which your astronomy instructor might use to point to slides during a lecture on galaxies?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The frequency of a red laser beam is [tex]4.47\times 10^{14}\ Hz[/tex].

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red laser beam, [tex]\lambda=670\ nm=670\times 10^{-9}\ m[/tex]

We need to find the frequency of red laser beam. It can be calculated as :

[tex]f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{670\times 10^{-9}\ m}[/tex]

[tex]f=4.47\times 10^{14}\ Hz[/tex]

So, the frequency of a red laser beam is [tex]4.47\times 10^{14}\ Hz[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
