`A` sodium street light gives off yellow light that has a wavelength of `589nm`. What is the frequency of this light?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the frequency of the yellow light emitted by a sodium street light with a wavelength of 589 nm, we can use the relationship between frequency (ν), wavelength (λ), and the speed of light (c). The formula is given by: \[ \nu = \frac{c}{\lambda} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Wavelength (λ) = 589 nm ...
