Light is an electromagnetic wave and travels at a speed of 3.00 × 10^8 m/s. The human eye is most sensitive to yellow-green light, which has a wavelength of 5.84 × 10-7 m. What is the frequency of this light?
Note: Answer in 3rd significant digit with unit
1)
The wavelength of light visible to the human eye is on the order of 6 × 10 −7 m. If the speed of light in air is 3 × 10 8 m/s, find the frequency of the lightwave.
