The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the velocities of light waves of wavelengths 2000 Å and 3000 Å in vacuum, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept**: The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant value, denoted as \( c \), which is approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s. This speed does not depend on the wavelength of the light. 2. **Identify the Wavelengths**: We have two wavelengths given: - \( \lambda_1 = 2000 \, \text{Å} \) - \( \lambda_2 = 3000 \, \text{Å} \) 3. **Determine the Velocities**: The velocities of light for both wavelengths in a vacuum can be represented as: - \( v_1 = c \) for the wavelength \( \lambda_1 \) - \( v_2 = c \) for the wavelength \( \lambda_2 \) 4. **Calculate the Ratio of Velocities**: The ratio of the velocities of light waves can be calculated as follows: \[ \frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{c}{c} = 1 \] 5. **Conclusion**: The ratio of the velocities of light waves of wavelengths 2000 Å and 3000 Å in vacuum is \( 1:1 \). ### Final Answer: The ratio of velocities of light waves of wavelengths 2000 Å and 3000 Å in vacuum is \( 1:1 \). ---
