What is the frequency of this radiation?
Suppose you must decide whether a pre-Columbian mask is genuine before buying it for a museum. It looks genuine, but to ensure its authenticity, you shine X rays of wavelength 1.71 × 10^–10 m on it to see if a certain element is present. What is the frequency of this radiation?
