Answer: When excited sodium atoms may emit radiation having a wavelength of 589nm. It's wavelength in meters is [tex]589 \times 10^{-9} m[/tex].
Explanation:
Given: Wavelength = 589 nm
It is known that,
[tex]1 nm = 10^{-9} m[/tex]
Hence, 589 nm is converted into meters as follows.
[tex]589 nm = 589 nm \times \frac{10^{-9}m}{1 nm}\\= 589 \times 10^{-9} m[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that when excited sodium atoms may emit radiation having a wavelength of 589nm. It's wavelength in meters is [tex]589 \times 10^{-9} m[/tex].
