The compound eyes of bees and other insects are highly sensitive to light in the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum, particularly light with frequencies between 7.5 × 1014 hz and 1.0 × 1015 hz. the speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s. what is the largest wavelength to which these frequencies correspond? answer in units of m.

Explanation:

The relationship between frequency, speed of light and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is

where

is the wavelength

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency

Let's calculate the corresponding wavelengths for the minimum and maximum frequency of the portion of spectrum to which bees and insects are sensitive:

So, the largest wavelength corresponding to these frequencies is

it has to be b, about 97 percent.
