QUESTION:
Problem 36P
(a) Which color of light has the higher frequency, red or violet? (b) Calculate the frequency of blue light with a wavelength of 470 nm, and red light with a wavelength of 680 nm.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
(a) We know that the frequency varies inversely with wavelength, so that a shorter wavelength corresponds to a higher frequency.
Wavelength of violet light is shorter than that for red light, so we can conclude violet light has the higher frequency
