An X-ray machine makes an image of the internal organs by exposing the human body to the electromagnetic radiation with the wavelength of 10^-10 m. We call this electromagnetic radiation X-rays. Assuming that the speed of light is 3x10^8 m/s, what is the frequency of oscillations of the X-rays? Express your answer in Hertz (Hz).
In the aftermath of an intense earthquake, the earth as a whole “rings” with a period of 54 minutes. What is the frequency (in Hz) of this oscillation?
