Calculate the wavelength of a photon which has a speed 1% of that of speed of light |
|
Answer» Answer: The speed of light, c , equals the wavelength, λ TIMES the frequency, ν c =λν c is a constant. It is USUALLY given as 3.00×10^8 m/s or 3.00×10^10 cm/s. Frequency has a UNIT of 1/s , which means 1 cycle per second. It is also given the unit Hertz (Hz) in HONOR of German physicist Heinrich Hertz who proved the existence of electromagnetic waves. 1Hz =1/s . |
