How do you find the wavelength of a yellow light?
How do you find the wavelength of a yellow light? The frequency (f) and wavelength (d) are related by the equation f = c/d, where c is the speed of light (approximately 2.99 x 10^8 meters per second). A specific yellow light might be 570 nanometers in wavelength, therefore, (2.99 x 10^8)/(570 x 10^-9) = […]
