Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of the blue light emitted by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 6.32 × 1014 Hz.

474 nm or 4.74 x 10^2 nm

Explanation:

c = λv

c (speed of light) = 2.998 x 10^8 m/s

λ = ?

v = 6.32 × 1014 Hz = 6.32 × 1014 1/s

2.998 x 10^8 m/s = (λ)(6.32 × 10^14 1/s)

λ = (2.998 x 10^8 m/s) / (6.32 × 10^14 1/s)

λ = 4.74 x 10^-7 m

λ = 4.74 x 10^-7 m x (1 x 10^9 nm/1 m) = 474 nm

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
