  • Calculate Wavelength of Blue Light: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the wavelength of blue light:

    Understanding the Relationship

    The relationship between the wavelength (λ), frequency (ν), and the speed of light (c) is given by:

    * c = λν

    Where:

    * c is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 3 x 10⁸ m/s)

    * λ is the wavelength (in meters)

    * ν is the frequency (in Hertz, Hz, or cycles per second)

    Calculation

    1. Rearrange the equation to solve for wavelength:

    λ = c / ν

    2. Plug in the values:

    λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (6.67 x 10¹⁴ Hz)

    3. Calculate the wavelength:

    λ ≈ 4.49 x 10⁻⁷ meters

    4. Convert to nanometers (nm):

    λ ≈ 449 nm

    Therefore, the wavelength of blue light with a frequency of 6.67 x 10¹⁴ Hz is approximately 449 nanometers.
