Question #18459

Answer 1

More of a physics question, but I don't mind!

The range of frequencies for the visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation is `3.9` to `7.5*10^14` `Hz`.

Explanation:

`f propto 1/lambda`

Furthermore,

`lambda f = c`

This means that the product of a frequency and a wavelength of wave is equal to the speed of light.

`(3.0*10^8 m)/s = (4.0*10^-7m)f`
`f = 7.5*10^14`

`(3.0*10^8 m)/s = (7.6*10^-7m)f`
`f = 3.9*10^14`
