To calculate for the frequency (f) of maximum solar radiation, the equation c=(lambda)f will be used, where c is the speed of light equivalent to 300000000 m/s and lambda is the wavelength. So maximum solar radiation has a freqency equal to 30000000 m/s multiplied by its wavelength 503 nm or 503x10^-9 m. Its frequency is 150.9 /s or 150.9 Hertz
Answer:
The frequency of the radiation is 5.96*10¹⁴ s⁻¹
Explanation:
Given:
Wavelength of solar radiation (λ) = 503 nm
To determine:
Frequency (ν) of solar radiation
Explanation:
The wavelength (λ) of a photon or particle of light is related to its frequency (ν) via the following equation:
[tex]\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda }[/tex]
where c = speed of light = 3*10⁸ m/s
[tex]\nu = \frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{\503*10^{-9}m}= 5.96*10^{14}s-1[/tex]
