Frequency and Wavelength Calculation

For example, you can calculate the frequency of yellow light with a wavelength of $6.00 \times 10^{- 7}$ m.

Work it out on paper first. Then open the solution one step at a time, and stop as soon as you can finish on your own.

Strategy
Rearrange the equation to solve for frequency.

$f = \frac{c}{λ}$

Solution
Substitute the values for the speed of light and wavelength into the equation.

$f = \frac{3.00 \times 10^{8} m/s}{6.00 \times 10^{- 7} m} = 5.00 \times 10^{14} s^{- 1} = 5.00 \times 10^{14} Hz$
