The wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is 400nm. If the speed of light in air is 3 x 108ms-1, then the frequency of the ultraviolet radiation is

A.

1.3 x 1015Hz

B.

7.5 x 105Hz

C.

1.2 x 1011Hz

D.

7.5 x 1014Hz

Correct answer is D

F = \(\frac{V}{\lambda}\)

= \(\frac{3 \times 10^8}{400 \times 10^{-9}}\)

= 75 x 1015Hz

= 7.5 x 10^14 Hz
