Determine the frequency of light whose wavelength is 4.257 x10-7 cm

Frequency x Wavelength = Speed of light Now, speed of light = 3 x 10^5 km/s = 3 x 10^8 m/s = 3 x 10^10 cm/s Frequency = speed/Wavelength = (3 x 10^10)/(4.257 x 10^-7) =7 x 10^16 Hz

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
