There are several ways to calculate the frequency of light emitted or absorbed by different chemicals, and they depend on what you already know. For example, if you know the energy of the particle, then you can calculate frequency from E = planck's constant x frequency and solve for frequency. If you happen to know the wavelength, then you can use C = wavelength x frequency and solve for frequency (where C = speed of light).

Why can astronomers use the speed of light to calculate distances?

Because visible light is emitted at a known frequency (a time) and then it is as simple as Speed = Distance / Time therefore Distance = Speed x Time.

A light is emitted from a laser.its frequency is 630THz.what is the wavelength and color?

You can get the wavelength by dividing the speed of light by the frequency. Don't forget that THz means 10 to the power 12 Hz.

How is the peak frequency of emitted light related to the temperature of its incandescent source?

The peak frequency is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the emitter. Temperature increases frequency also increases.


How do you calculate light wavelength to frequency?

To find (wavelength): Divide (speed) by (frequency). To find (frequency): Divide (speed) by (wavelength).
