Question
At Liberty University light travels in a laboratory at 3.00x108  m/s.  Five students do an experiment in which they measure the wavelength of a light photon (in units of nanometers) and the associated frequency of that photon (in units of s-1).  The five sets of wavelengths and frequencies observed are given below.  One set is clearly in error, while the other four sets are correct.  Which set is in error?
