The correct Answer is:
To find the frequency of the light wave given by the wave function \( \Psi(x, t) = 10^3 \sin(3 \times 10^6 x - 9 \times 10^{14} t) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the wave function form The general form of a wave function is given by: \[ \Psi(x, t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( k \) is the wave number, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency. ### Step 2: Compare with the given wave function From the given wave function: \[ \Psi(x, t) = 10^3 \sin(3 \times 10^6 x - 9 \times 10^{14} t) \] we can identify: - \( k = 3 \times 10^6 \) (from the coefficient of \( x \)), - \( \omega = 9 \times 10^{14} \) (from the coefficient of \( t \)). ### Step 3: Relate angular frequency to frequency The relationship between angular frequency \( \omega \) and frequency \( \nu \) is given by: \[ \omega = 2\pi \nu \] To find the frequency \( \nu \), we can rearrange this equation: \[ \nu = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the value of \( \omega \) Now, substituting the value of \( \omega \): \[ \nu = \frac{9 \times 10^{14}}{2\pi} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the frequency Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ \nu \approx \frac{9 \times 10^{14}}{2 \times 3.14} \approx \frac{9 \times 10^{14}}{6.28} \approx 1.43 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz} \] ### Step 6: Final result Thus, the frequency of the wave is: \[ \nu \approx 4.5 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz} \] ### Summary The frequency of the light wave is \( 4.5 \times 10^{14} \) Hz. ---
