Understanding the Relationship
The relationship between frequency (f), wavelength (λ), and the speed of light (c) is:
* c = fλ
Where:
* c is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 3 x 10⁸ meters per second)
* f is the frequency (measured in Hertz, Hz)
* λ is the wavelength (measured in meters)
Calculation
1. Rearrange the formula to solve for frequency:
f = c / λ
2. Plug in the values:
f = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (3.55 x 10⁻⁸ m)
3. Calculate:
f ≈ 8.45 x 10¹⁵ Hz
Answer: The frequency of the wave is approximately 8.45 x 10¹⁵ Hz.
