What is the frequency of monochromatic light of wavelength 485 mm when the speed of light is 3.00?
The answer depends on the units in which the speed of light is given as 3.00
What are the SI units for speed of light?
Wavelength is in meters, the frequency is in hertz. period is in seconds and the wave speed is in meters per second.
How much energy is associated with an infrared photon with a wavelength of 9.90?
You haven't given units for 9.90. nm, wavenumbers? metres, centimetres? E=hc/lambda, speed of light in metres, wavelength in metres
What are the equations for wavelength and frequency of light?
The equations for wavelength and frequency of light are: Wavelength (λ) = c / f, where c is the speed of light (3.00 × 10^8 m/s) and f is the frequency of the light wave. Frequency (f) = c / λ, where c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength of the light wave.
If the speed of a light in a vacuum is 1.5 times that of the speed of light in a given material what is the index of refraction for that material?
1.5 no units (APEX)

What are the SI units for speed of light?
Wavelength is in meters, the frequency is in hertz. period is in seconds and the wave speed is in meters per second.
The wavelength of a beam of light passing through a vacuum is 420 nanometers. What is the frequency of the light beam?
You need to divide the speed of light by the wavelength. (To have consistent units, you must first either convert the speed of light to nm/second, or convert the wavelength to meters.)
What is the SI measurement of light?
There is no "measurement of light". The units used depend on what you want to measure: its speed, frequency, wavelength, energy per photon, etc.
What is the frequency of blue light with a wavelength of 550 nanometers?
The frequency of blue light with a wavelength of 550 nanometers is approximately 545 terahertz. This can be calculated using the equation: frequency = speed of light / wavelength, where the speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second.
What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 10?
The frequency of radiation can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Given that the speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s, the frequency of radiation with a wavelength of 10 meters would be 3.00 x 10^7 Hz.
What wavelength of light would you report in units of nm if the light had a wavelength of 7.60 x 10-10 m?
The wavelength of light, 7.60 x 10^-10 m, would be reported as 760 nm in units of nanometers.
How much energy is associated with an infrared photon with a wavelength of 9.90?
You haven't given units for 9.90. nm, wavenumbers? metres, centimetres? E=hc/lambda, speed of light in metres, wavelength in metres
What is the product of wavelength and frequency always equal to?
The product of wavelength and frequency is always equal to the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. This relationship is described by the equation c = λ * f, where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency.
What is the speed of a shade of yellow light with a wavelenght of 5.8x10-7 m and a frequency of 5.17x 1014 hz?
The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. You can calculate the speed of the yellow light using the formula: speed = frequency x wavelength. Thus, the speed of the yellow light with the given wavelength and frequency would be approximately 2.99 x 10^8 m/s.
What is the frequency of an EM wave that has a wavelength of 1 mm?
The frequency of an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of 1 mm is 300 GHz. This is calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Substituting the values in gives us 300 GHz.
A wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and a wave speed of 18 ms. What is its wavelength?
Just divide the speed by the frequency. Since SI units are used, the wavelength will be in meters.
