ν = c / λ
where:
* ν is the frequency in Hertz (Hz)
* c is the speed of light (approximately 3 x 10⁸ m/s)
* λ is the wavelength in meters (m)
To solve for the frequency, you need to provide the wavelength in meters. For example, if the wavelength is 1.87 x 10⁻¹⁴ meters:
1. Plug the values into the equation:
ν = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1.87 x 10⁻¹⁴ m)
2. Calculate the frequency:
ν ≈ 1.6 x 10²² Hz
Therefore, the frequency of light with a wavelength of 1.87 x 10⁻¹⁴ meters is approximately 1.6 x 10²² Hz.
