What is the frequency of an electromagnetic radiation which makes 2 x 106 waves per 50 cm
Question
What is the frequency of an electromagnetic radiation which makes 2 x 10^6 waves per 50 cm?
Solution
The frequency of an electromagnetic radiation can be calculated using the formula:
Frequency (f) = Speed of Light (c) / Wavelength (λ)
However, in this case, we are given the number of waves per distance (50 cm), not the wavelength. So, we first need to find the wavelength.
1 wave has a length of 50 cm / 2 x 10^6 = 2.5 x 10^-8 cm
But the speed of light is usually measured in meters per second, so we should convert the wavelength to meters:
2.5 x 10^-8 cm = 2.5 x 10^-10 m
Now we can find the frequency:
f = c / λ = 3 x 10^8 m/s / 2.5 x 10^-10 m = 1.2 x 10^18 Hz
So, the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation is 1.2 x 10^18 Hz.
