Answer:
1×10⁸ Hz.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Wavelength (λ) = 3 m
Frequency (f) =?
The wavelength of a wave and it's frequency are related by the following equation:
Velocity (v) = wavelength (λ) × frequency (f)
v = λf
With the above equation, we can obtain the frequency of the light wave as follow:
Wavelength (λ) = 3 m
Velocity (v) of light = 3×10⁸ m/s
Frequency (f) =?
v = λf
3×10⁸ = 3 × f
Divide both side by 3
f = 3×10⁸ / 3
f = 1×10⁸ Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the light wave is 1×10⁸ Hz
