Wave Formula: Example: If a ray of red light has a wavelength of 660nm with a velocity of 3x108 . What is its frequency in air? Solution: f = v/λ f = 3x^10^8 / 660 x 10^-9 f = 4.55 x 10^14 Hz   Kindly compute the following case exercises: a. A ray of yellow light has a wavelength of 560nm with a velocity of 3x108. What is itsfrequency in air? b. A ray of light has a frequency of 5.10 x 1014Hz. What is its wavelength in polycarbonate, where the ray travels at 1.89 x 108 meters? (round off your answer to 3 digits)
