Calculate the frequencies corresponding to the wavelengths 500.00 nm and 500.10 nm. Use these to check the accuracy of equation

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength, [tex]\lambda_1=500\ nm=5\times 10^{-7}\ m[/tex]

Wavelength, [tex]\lambda_2=500.10\ nm=5.001\times 10^{-7}\ m[/tex]

We need to find the frequencies from corresponding wavelengths. The frequency of the light is given by :

[tex]f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}[/tex]  

c is the speed of light

Frequency 1,

[tex]f_1=\dfrac{c}{\lambda_1}[/tex]  

[tex]f_1=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5\times 10^{-7}\ m}[/tex]  

[tex]f_1=6\times 10^{14}\ Hz[/tex]

Frequency 2,

[tex]f_2=\dfrac{c}{\lambda_2}[/tex]  

[tex]f_1=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5.001\times 10^{-7}\ m}[/tex]  

[tex]f_1=5.99\times 10^{14}\ Hz[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
