The correct Answer is:
To find the wavelength of a quantum of light given its frequency, we can use the formula that relates the speed of light (c), frequency (ν), and wavelength (λ): \[ c = ν \cdot λ \] Where: - \( c \) = speed of light - \( ν \) = frequency - \( λ \) = wavelength ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - Speed of light, \( c = 3 \times 10^{17} \, \text{nm/s} \) - Frequency, \( ν = 6 \times 10^{15} \, \text{s}^{-1} \) 2. **Rearrange the Formula**: To find the wavelength \( λ \), we rearrange the formula: \[ λ = \frac{c}{ν} \] 3. **Substitute the Values**: Now, substitute the values of \( c \) and \( ν \) into the rearranged formula: \[ λ = \frac{3 \times 10^{17} \, \text{nm/s}}{6 \times 10^{15} \, \text{s}^{-1}} \] 4. **Perform the Calculation**: - First, divide the coefficients: \[ \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 \] - Then, divide the powers of ten: \[ 10^{17} / 10^{15} = 10^{2} \] - Now combine these results: \[ λ = 0.5 \times 10^{2} \, \text{nm} = 50 \, \text{nm} \] 5. **Conclusion**: The wavelength of the quantum of light with the given frequency is \( 50 \, \text{nm} \). ### Final Answer: The wavelength is closest to **50 nm**.

To find the wavelength of a quantum of light given its frequency, we can use the formula that relates the speed of light (c), frequency (ν), and wavelength (λ): \[ c = ν \cdot λ \] Where: - \( c \) = speed of light - \( ν \) = frequency - \( λ \) = wavelength ...
