This problem can be solved using the equation

c = freq x wavelength, where c is the speed of light, which is 3.00 x 10^8 m / s

freq = c / wavelength

freq = (3.00 x 10^8m /s) / (2.40 x 10^-5 cm x 1 m /100cm)

freq = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / 2.40 x 10^-7m

freq = 1.25 x 10^15/s 1 / s = 1Hz

freq = 1.25 x 10^15Hz

What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 1.73nm?

The frequency of radiation can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Given the speed of light is about 3.00 x 10^8 m/s, you can convert the wavelength from nm to meters (1.73 nm = 1.73 x 10^-9 m) and plug in the values to find the frequency.


What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 10?

You need specify the units associated with the number 10.In any event, a very simple relationship exists between the wavelength and the frequency for all forms of electromagnetic radiation - the product of the two is equal to the speed of light. Therefore, the frequency you want to know can be determined by dividing the speed of light by the wavelength. Just be sure that you are consistent with the units


What is the wavelength of a sound whose frequency is 42 Hz?

The wavelength of a sound wave can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. Assuming the speed of sound in air is around 343 m/s, the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 42 Hz would be approximately 8.17 meters.


What is the frequency of light whose wavelength is 633 mm?

Speed (of a wave) = frequency x wavelengthTherefore, you have to: * Convert the wavelength to meters. * Divide the speed of light - which is 300 million meters/second - by this wavelength. The answer will be in Hz.


What type of wave is an ultraviolet wave?

An invisible Electromagnetic radiation (also called solar radiation) whose wavelength is shorter than visible light but greater than X-rays (i.e in ORDER of 10-8 m) is called ultraviolet wave.

What is the speed of a wave whose wavelength is 5 cycle and whose frequency is 5Hz?

I've got no idea what a "5 cycle wavelength" is. However, I would just apply this formula: v = fλ, where v is the velocity (speed in m/s) of the wave, f is the frequency (in hertz), and λ is the wavelength (in m).

The answer will depend on what type of signal it is: acoustic, electromagnetic and in what medium the signal is propagated.


What is the wave length of a typical 7-Wave whose frequency is 7 Hz The speed of sound in sea water is 1530 meter per second?

The wavelength can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. Plug in the values: wavelength = 1530 m/s / 7 Hz = 218.57 meters. Therefore, the wavelength of a 7 Hz wave in sea water is approximately 218.57 meters.
