Question 594 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Yellow light has a frequency of 5.2 × 1014 Hz and travels at a speed of 3.0 × 108 m/s. What is the wavelength of yellow light, in meters?

Answer
A
5.8 × 10–7 m
B
2.2 × 10–6 m
C
1.7 × 106 m
D
8.2 × 1022 m

Explanation

Use the wave relationship wavelength = speed ÷ frequency. Dividing 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s by 5.2 × 10¹⁴ Hz gives about 5.8 × 10⁻⁷ m. Therefore, the wavelength is 5.8 × 10⁻⁷ m, choice A.
