Speed of Light (C): A constant value that represents the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, approximately C = 3.0 imes 10^8 ext{ m/s}.
Frequency (V): The number of cycles of a wave that occur per second, measured in hertz (Hz) or ext{s}^{-1}.
Wavelength (( \lambda )): The distance between successive crests of a wave, commonly measured in meters (m) or nanometers (nm). Typically, it is expressed in nanometers for light waves.
Relationship: The equation relating speed, frequency, and wavelength is:
ext{C} = \lambda \times V
Rearranging gives:
\lambda = \frac{C}{V}
Given: Frequency V = 7.26 imes 10^{14} ext{ Hz} (violet region)
