Calculate the frequency of violet light if the wavelength in air is 430nm.

* speed. of violet light in the prism = 2×10^8 m/s
* 1nm = 10^-9
* velocity of light in air = 3×10^8 m/s

Please show working out.!

6.98 × 10^(14) Hz

Explanation:

wavelength in air; λ_o = 430nm = 430 × 10^(-9) m

Speed of violet light in the prism; v = 2 × 10^(8) m/s

Speed of light in air = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

To get the frequency, we will use the relationship;

f = c/λ_o

Plugging in the relevant values;

f = (3 × 10^(8))/(430 × 10^(-9))

f = 6.98 × 10^(14) Hz
