APFIVE Calculating Wavelength From Frequency
The table below lists the frequencies for several types of electromagnetic radiation.
| Radiation | Frequency ($$\text{s}^{-1}$$) |
|---|---|
| UV | $$8.0 \times 10^{14}$$ |
| Visible | $$5.5 \times 10^{14}$$ |
| IR | $$3.0 \times 10^{14}$$ |
| X-ray | $$1.0 \times 10^{18}$$ |
Using the data provided, determine the wavelength of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation. (The speed of light, $$c$$, is $$3.00 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m/s}$$.)
A
$$3.75 \times 10^{-7}\,m$$
B
$$1.5 \times 10^{-7}\,m$$
C
$$3.75 \times 10^{-6}\,m$$
D
$$2.67 \times 10^{-7}\,m$$
