lue-green light has a frequency of about 6.00×1014 Hz. Determine its wavelength. Compare this wavelength to the size of an atom (about 10-10 m).
X-rays have a wavelength small enough to image individual atoms, but are challenging to detect because of their typical frequency. Suppose an X-ray camera uses X-rays with a wavelength of 3.10 nm. Calculate the frequency of the X-rays. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
