Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The wavelength having the highest frequency.

Answer to Problem 1SAQ

Correct answer: The highest frequency will be for 1 nm wavelength of light. So, the correct answer is option (c).

Explanation of Solution

Justify the reasons for the correct statement:

Frequency (v) and wavelength (λ) are inversely related to each other. Their relation is as follows:

v=1λ

The wavelength of light is 1 nm. So, the wavelength in meters will be as follows:

λ=1 nm(109 m1 nm)=109 m

This is the shortest wavelength. So, it will have the highest frequency.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as 10 nm.

The wavelength of light is 10 nm. So, the wavelength in meters will be as follows:

λ=10 nm(109 m1 nm)=108 m

So, it is an incorrect answer.

Option (b) is given as 10 mm.

The wavelength of light is 10 mm. So, the wavelength in meters will be as follows:

λ=10 mm(103 m1 mm)=102 m

So, it is an incorrect answer.

Option (d) is given as 1 mm.

The wavelength of light is 1 mm. So, the wavelength in meters will be as follows:

λ=1 mm(103 m1 mm)=103 m

So, it is an incorrect answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion
The correct answer is option (c).
