The correct Answer is:
To find the wavelength of a wave with a frequency of \(10^{14}\) Hz, we can use the formula that relates wavelength (\(\lambda\)), frequency (\(f\)), and the speed of light (\(c\)): \[ \lambda = \frac{c}{f} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Frequency (\(f\)) = \(10^{14}\) Hz - Speed of light (\(c\)) = \(3 \times 10^8\) m/s (approximately) 2. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ \lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}{10^{14} \text{ Hz}} \] 3. **Perform the division:** - First, convert \(10^{14}\) Hz into its equivalent in seconds: \[ 10^{14} \text{ Hz} = 10^{14} \text{ s}^{-1} \] - Now, perform the calculation: \[ \lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{10^{14}} = 3 \times 10^{8 - 14} = 3 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m} \] 4. **Final Answer:** - The wavelength (\(\lambda\)) is: \[ \lambda = 3 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m} \] ### Summary: The wavelength of a wave with a frequency of \(10^{14}\) Hz is \(3 \times 10^{-6}\) meters.
