The wavelength of a specific photon in the x-ray is 5 x 10-9 meters. Given that the speed of light is 2.998 x 108 ms what would be the frequency of this x-ray?

I'm not sure what that 'a' is doing in there. I'll just go with 2.5 x 109 Hz.
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 3 x 108/2.5 x 109 = 12 centimeters or 1.2 x 108 nm.
This is no "X-ray". This is more like the radio waves in your microwave oven that are used to warm the leftover meatloaf for a quick supper.

∙ 15y agoThe formula is speed of light (3x108)=Wavelength in meters times frequency in hertz
wavelength really=5x10-9 so frequency=6x1016 Hertz or cycles per second

What is the frequency in hertz and the energy in joules of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 2.32 Å?
For the frequency, first convert the wavelength to meters (divide the number of Angstroms by 1010), then use the formula: wavelength x frequency = speed. Using the speed of light in this case. Solving for frequency: frequency = speed / wavelength. To get the photon's energy, multiply the frequency times Planck's constant, which is 6.63 x 10-34 (joules times seconds).
In visible light color is an indication of?
Wavelength, Frequency, or Photon Energy
What are the frequency and wavelength of the photon?
c = wavelength X frequency, where c is the speed of light, which is 299,792,458 m/s. So you need the wavelength of the photon. Then you divide c/wavelength and the result will be the frequency.
How to Put these photons in order of increasing energy?
A photon with energy 3.0 x 10-19 J A photon with wavelength 525 nm A photon with frequency 7.6 x 1014 Hz A photon with frequency 2 x 1015 Hz
What is the photon energy corresponding to wavelength 310 nano meters?
340 mg
How do you find the energy of a photon?
You need to know the photon's frequency or wavelength. If you know the wavelength, divide the speed of light by the photon's wavelength to find the frequency. Once you have the photon's frequency, multiply that by Planck's Konstant. The product is the photon's energy.
Which is more energetic a red photon or a blue photon?
The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
What is the frequency in hertz and the energy in joules of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 2.32 Å?
For the frequency, first convert the wavelength to meters (divide the number of Angstroms by 1010), then use the formula: wavelength x frequency = speed. Using the speed of light in this case. Solving for frequency: frequency = speed / wavelength. To get the photon's energy, multiply the frequency times Planck's constant, which is 6.63 x 10-34 (joules times seconds).
What is the frequency of a photon whose wavelength is 6000 Armstrong's?
Divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the wavelength (in meters). The answer is in Hz (1/second). Divide that answer by a million to get MHz.
What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
The energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency; the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength (since frequency x wavelength = speed of light, which is constant); thus, the energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
How are the wavelenght and energy of a photon related?
The energy of a photon is directly proportional to the frequency. Since the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, the energy, too, is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
Photon energy and frequency increases as the wavelength of light?
The energy increases as the frequency increases.The frequency decreases as the wavelength increases.So, the energy decreases as the wavelength increases.
What is the wavelength of a photon whose energy is twice that of a photon with a 580 nm wavelength?
Twice the energy means twice the frequency, and therefore half the wavelength.
What is the frequency of a UV photon at 350nm?
the equation f= c/wavelength means that the frequency is equal to the speed of light divided by the wavelength in Meters. e.g. f=2.9998x108 / 350x10-9 ans: 8.57x1014 Hz.
How is the energy of a photon related to its frequency and wavelength?
wavelength : wavelength is the distance from crest of one wave to the crest of next frequency : the number of waves that passes a given point in one second energy : the amplitude or intensity of a wave energy and frequency is directly proportional to each other when energy is high frequency is also high wavelength and frequency or energy is inversly proportional to each other when wavelength is high frequency or energy is low
What is the frequency and energy of a photon with a wavelength of 488.3 nm?
89
What is the wavelength of a radio photon from an AM radio station that broadcasts at 760 kilohertz?
(300,000,000 meters per second) / (750,000 waves per second) = 400 meters per wave
