The speed of an electromagnetic wave is a constant, 3.0 × 10 8m/s. The wavelength of a wave is 0.6 meters.
What is the frequency?
A.1.8 × 10 8Hz
B.5.0 Hz
C1.8 Hz
D.5.0 × 10 8Hz

Explanation :

It is given that,

Speed of the wave, [tex]v=3\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]

Wavelength of the wave, [tex]\lambda=0.6\ m[/tex]

We know that,

[tex]v=f \lambda[/tex]

where

v is the speed of the wave

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

[tex]f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{0.6\ m}[/tex]

[tex]f=500000000\ Hz[/tex]

or

[tex]f=5.0\times 10^8\ Hz[/tex]

So, the correct option is (d).
