The frequency of a given region of the electromagnetic spectrum ranges from 4 × 1014 to 7.5 × 1014 Hz. The speed of light is 2.998 × 108 m/s. Which waves are found in this region? A. microwaves B. infrared rays C. visible light D. ultraviolet rays

Respuesta :

Calculating wavelengths from given frequency range and the speed of light:

Wavelength corresponding to a frequency of [tex]4*10^{14}Hz[/tex]:

[tex]Wavelength =\frac{Speed of light}{Frequency}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{2.998*10^{8}m/s} {4*10^{14}Hz } *\frac{10^{9}nm} {1 m}=749.5 nm[/tex]

Wavelength corresponding to a frequency of [tex]7.5*10^{14}Hz[/tex]:

[tex]Wavelength =\frac{Speed of light}{Frequency}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{2.998*10^{8}m/s} {7.5*10^{14}Hz } *\frac{10^{9}nm} {1 m}=399.7 nm[/tex]

So the wavelength range will be 749.5 nm - 399.7 nm

This corresponds to the visible region wavelength range.

Hence the correct answer: C. visible light

Answer:
