Question : 7
Total: 67
Calculate the wavelength, frequency and wavenumber of a light wave whose time period is 2.0 × 1010s.
Solution:  
Frequency of a light wave
(υ) =
1
Timeperiod
=
1
2.0×1010
= 5 × 109s1
Wavelength of light wave (λ) =
c
υ
=
3×108
5×109
= 6.0 × 102m
Wavenumber of light wave (
v
)
=
1
λ
=
1
6.0×102
= 16.6 m1
Therefore, wavelength, frequency and wavenumber of the light wave are 6.0 × 102 m, 5 × 109s1 and 16.6 m1 respectively.
