The distance measured between five successive crests of a wave motion executed by a photon of an electromagnetic radiation is 2.4cm. what is the frequency of the photon

6.25 ×10^10 Hz

Explanation:

If the distance between five successive crests is 2.4 cm, then the distance between each crest is 2.4/5 = 0.48 cm or 0.0048 m or 4.8 ×10^-3 m

Since the velocity of a wave is given by;

v= λf

Where;

λ= wavelength of the wave

f= frequency of the wave

But λ= distance between successive crests = 4.8 ×10^-3 m

v= 3×10^8 ms-1 (speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum)

f= v/λ

f= 3×10^8 ms-1/4.8 ×10^-3 m

f= 0.625 ×10^11 Hz

f= 6.25 ×10^10 Hz
