Lets do a physics question (a level)
welcome back
The question is as follows
Q:A laser emits light of wavelength 600 nm
. What is the distance, expressed as a number of wavelengths, travelled by the light in one second?
We know that
1 nm=10-9m
therefore: 600nm =6 x 10-7m
we also know that the speed of light is= 3 x 10 8m/s
so v= f x L
note that the question asks for the frequency
so: f= 3 x 108/6 x 10-7 Hz
the answer is f= 5 x 1014 Hz
thank you it is very useful
