The frequency of oscillation of the electric field vector of a certain electromagnetic wave is `5xx10^(14) Hz`. What is the frequency of oscillation of the corresponding magnetic field vector and to which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does it belong ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Wavelegnth `lambda=(c )/(v)=(3xx10^(8))/(5xx10^(14))=6xx10^(-7)m=600nm`. It belongs to visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
