The range of wavelengths for visible light is from 3.9*10^-7m. What is the corresponding range of frequencies for visible light

from 7.69×10¹⁵ Hz

Explanation:

Frequency: This can be defined as the number of complete cycle a wave complete in one seconds, the S.I unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

From the question,

v = λf Equation 1

Where v = speed of visible light in air, λ = wave length of visible light, f = frequency of visible light.

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ Equation 2

Note: all electromagnetic wave have the same speed = 3×10⁸ m/s

Given: v = 3×10⁸ m/s, λ = from 3.9×10⁻⁷ m

Substitute into equation 2

f = 3×10⁸/ 3.9×10⁻⁷

f = 7.69×10¹⁵ Hz

Hence the range of the frequencies for visible light = from 7.69×10¹⁵ Hz
