Solving : A particular form of electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 9.87e15 Hz. (a) What is its wavelength in nanometers? In meters? (b) To what region of the electromagnetic spectrum would you assign it? (c) What is the energy (in joules) of one quantum of this radiation? (Solving with friend, any help is appreciate if found error)

2.99792458e8/9.87e15 = 3.04e-8m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a)3.04e-8/1000000000 = 3.04e-17nm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why does it ask "In meters?" wasn't it first on meters when I found the wavelength?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea so just put both answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b) The region of the electromagnetic spectrum that I would assign this is Gamma Rays D:(cookies)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(c) What is the energy (in joules) of one quantum of this radiation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it's in between visible and ultraviolet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e-17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

frequency of e15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at the picture and look at the left, its calculated on wavelength(meters)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look down and you see frequency in Hz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"A particular form of electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 9.87e15 Hz"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b)To what region of the electromagnetic spectrum would you assign it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From Visible light to Gamma Rays

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or in Between Visible Light and Gamma Rays

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the frequency is e15 and the wavelength is e-17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unless I did something wrong on the math
