What frequency is radiation with a wavelength of 5.00 x 10^-6 cm? In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation? P. S it's due today

f = 6 × 10^15 Hz in the ULTRAVIOLET (UV) region

Explanation:

Using λ = v/f

Where;

λ = wavelength (m)

v = speed of light (3 × 10^8m/s)

f = frequency (Hz)

According to this question, λ = 5.00 x 10^-6 cm

= 5.00 x 10^-8 m

λ = v/f

f = v/λ

f = 3 × 10^8 ÷ 5.00 x 10^-8

f = 0.6 × 10^(8+8)

f = 0.6 × 10^16

f = 6 × 10^15 Hz

In the electromagnetic spectrum (EM), a frequency of 10^15 is found in the ULTRAVIOLET region. This means that this radiation with a wavelength of 5.00 x 10^-6 cm and frequency of 6 × 10^15 Hz is in the ULTRAVIOLET region of the EM spectrum.
