The frequency of the green light emitted by a hydrogen atom with a wavelength of 525 nm is [tex]5.71[/tex]×[tex]10^{14} s^{-1}[/tex]
What is wavelength?
- It is the length between two successive crests or troughs of any wave.
What is a frequency?
- It is the total number of waves that pass through a fixed point in unit time.
Wavelength=525nm
The relation between wavelength and frequency
[tex]v=\frac{c}{lambda}[/tex]
[tex]v=[/tex]frequency
[tex]c=[/tex]speed of light = [tex]3.0[/tex]×[tex]10^{8}[/tex][tex]m/sec[/tex]
λ(lambda)=wavelength
substitute the value in the equation mentioned above
[tex]v=3.0[/tex]×[tex]10^{8}[/tex][tex]/525[/tex]×[tex]10^{-9}[/tex]
[tex]=5.71[/tex]×[tex]10^{14}[/tex][tex]s^{-1}[/tex]
hence, the frequency of the green light emitted by a hydrogen atom with a wavelength of 525 nm is [tex]5.71[/tex]×[tex]10^{14} s^{-1}[/tex]
