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), wavelength (λ), and frequency (ν): \[ c = λ \cdot ν \] From this equation, we can rearrange it to solve for wavelength (λ): \[ λ = \frac{c}{ν} \] ### 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. **Substitute the values into the wavelength formula:** \[ λ = \frac{3 \times 10^{17} \, \text{nm/s}}{6 \times 10^{15} \, \text{s}^{-1}} \] 3. **Perform the division:** - First, divide the coefficients: \[ \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 \] - Next, divide the powers of ten: \[ 10^{17} \div 10^{15} = 10^{2} \] 4. **Combine the results:** \[ λ = 0.5 \times 10^{2} \, \text{nm} = 50 \, \text{nm} \] 5. **Conclusion:** The wavelength of the quantum of light is \( 50 \, \text{nm} \). ### Final Answer: The value closest to the wavelength in nanometers of a quantum of light with a frequency of \( 6 \times 10^{15} \, \text{s}^{-1} \) is **50 nm**.
