The wavelength of light emitted from an LED lightbulb that has a frequency of 60 Hz is _____ nm.
5 x 1015
5 x 10-14
2.5 x 107
2.5 x 1014
-5 x 1014
λ = 5*1015 nm
Step-by-step explanation
The wavelength of light is related to the frequency by the formula:
c = λ*f, where λ is the wavelength of emitted light, f is the frequency of the emitted light and c is the speed of light in air.
Given: c = 3*108 m/s, f = 60 Hz = 60 s-1
λ = c/f
λ = 3*108 / 60 = 5*106 m
Now, 10-9 m is equal to 1 nm
Therefore, 5*106 m is equal to 5*106 / 10-19 = 5*1015 nm (Option 1)
