Interpretation : The wavelength of the radiation in centimeter is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction : The separation between the crests is known as the wavelength.
The frequency is how often waves cycle through a specific point in a unit of time.
Answer to Problem 63A
The wavelength of the radiation in centimeter is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The wavelength is
It is known
The separation between the crests is known as the wavelength.
The frequency is how often waves cycle through a specific point in a unit of time.
With the help of unit conversion from meter to centimeter, the wavelength in centimeters is calculated.
The wavelength of the radiation is
Interpretation : The region of the
Concept Introduction : A wide range of wavelengths of radiation make up the electromagnetic spectrum. It has a wavelength in the
Answer to Problem 63A
The region of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible.
Explanation of Solution
A wide range of wavelengths of radiation makes up the electromagnetic spectrum.
It has a wavelength in the
To find the region of the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelength should be expressed in nanometers.
The wavelength in the nanometer is given as:
Since the value of wavelength is low, it belongs to a visible region whose range is in between
