Which of the wavelengths 4000oA and 8000oA has a higher frequency?

Open in App
Solution

Speed of electromagnetic wave v=3×108 m/s in vacuum.
Frequency of wave ν=vλ
ν1λ (v=same)
This means higher the wavelength of light, lower is the frequency.
Thus 4000 Ao light has higher frequency than 8000 Ao light.
