If wavelength of a wave is ` lambda = 6000 Å `.Then wave number will be

A

`166xx10^(3) m^(-1)`

B

`16.6xx10^(1) m^(-1)`

C

`1.66xx10^(6) m^(-1)`

D

`1.66 xx10^(7) m^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Using the relation
Wave number `=1/("Wavelength")=1/(6000xx10^(-10))`
`=1.66xx10^(6)` per m
