(a)
Interpretation:
From the given wavelengths, the
(b)
Interpretation:
The range of frequencies the camera detects has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Frequency: It is the number of complete waves passing through a point in a given period of time. The unit is
Wavelength: The distance between adjacent crests or troughs in a wave is called wavelength. The symbol of wavelength is
The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by,
From the above relation, it is clear that frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

- An FM radio station found at 103.1 on the FM dial broadcasts at a frequency of 1.031188s1 (103.1 MHz). What is the wavelength of these radio waves in meters?arrow_forwardAn FM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 101.3 MHz. What is the wavelength, in meters and nanometers, of this radiation?arrow_forwardA baseball weighs 142 g. A professional pitcher throws a fast ball at a speed of 100 mph and a curve ball at 80 mph. What wavelengths are associated with the motions of the baseball? If the uncertainty in the position of the ball is 12 wavelength, which ball (fast ball or curve) has a more precisely known position? Can the uncertainty in the position of a curve ball be used to explain why batters frequently miss it?arrow_forward
- When the Sojourner spacecraft landed on Mars in 1997, the planet was approximately 7.8 107 km from Earth. How long did it take for the television picture signal to reach Earth from Mars?arrow_forward6.9 If a string of decorative lights includes bulbs with wave-lengths of 480, 580, and 700 mm, what are the frequencies of the lights? Use Figure 6.6 to determine which colors are in the set.arrow_forwardTraffic signals are often now made of LEDs (light-emitting diodes). Amber and green ones are pictured here. (a) The light from an amber signal has a wave-length of 595 nm, and that from a green signal has a wavelength of 500 nm. Which has the higher frequency? (b) Calculate the frequency of amber light.arrow_forward
