The frequency of the green light emitted by a hydrogen atom with a wavelength of 486. 1 nm will be 6.17 * [tex]10^{-14}[/tex] Hz
The wavelength of light is the distance between corresponding points in two adjacent light cycles, and the frequency of light is the number of cycles of light that pass a given point in one second.
Visible light falls in the range of the EM spectrum between infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV). It has frequencies of about 4 × 1014 to 8 × 1014 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz) and wavelengths of about 740 nanometers (nm) or 2.9 × 10−5 inches, to 380 nm (1.5 × 10−5 inches)
f = c/lambda
where
f = frequency of light = ?
lambda = wavelength of light = 486. 1 nm = 486.1 * [tex]10^{-9}[/tex] m
c = speed of light = 3 * [tex]10^{8}[/tex] m/s
f = 3 * [tex]10^{8}[/tex] / 486.1 * [tex]10^{-9}[/tex] = 6.17 * [tex]10^{-14}[/tex] Hz
