Recall that electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light of 3.00 x 10 m/s; and that Planck's Constant (h) is 6.63 x 10- J• s; and that 1 nm =1x 10 m: 34 -9 1. The blue color of the sky results from the scattering of sunlight by air molecules. The blue light has frequency of about 7.5 x 104 Hz. Calculate the wavelength, in nm, associated with this radiation.
