Answer to Problem 7.1P

Solution:

The frequency of the green light emitted from a laser is 5.83×1014sec-1.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The wavelength of the green light emitted from a laser is 515nm.

The speed of light is 3×108m/sec.
The wavelength of light is 515nm.
The conversion of nm to m as,
   1nm=109m.
Therefore,
   515nm=515×109m=5.15×107m

The frequency of light is calculated by the formula,
   υ=cλ

Where,

  • υ is the frequency of light.
  • λ is the wavelength of light.
  • c is the speed of light.

Substitute the values of the speed of light and the wavelength of light in the above formula as,
   υofgreenlight=cλ=3×108m/sec5.15×107m=5.83×1014sec-1.

Therefore, the frequency of the green light emitted from a laser is 5.83×1014sec-1.

Conclusion

The frequency of the green light emitted from a laser is 5.83×1014sec-1.
