A microwave oven emits radiation at a wavelength of 0.500 cm. What is the frequency of this radiation?

 

Answer:

The frequency of the radiation is

6 x 10¹⁰ s^-1

Step-by-step explanation

The formula is:

frequency = ?wavelengthspeed.of.light??

speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

wavelenght = 0.5 cm

change centimeters to meters

1 meter = 100 centimeters

so

0.5 cm * ?100centimeters1meter?? = 0.005 meters

so

frequency = 3 x 10⁸ / 0.005

frequency = 6 x 10¹⁰?seg1?? or Hz

The frequency of the radiation is 6 x 10¹⁰ s^-1
