Solutions

Expert Solution

formula wave length lamda=c/h

where c=speed of the light

= 3 * 10 ^ 8 m / s

a)

Maximum wavelength = ( 3 * 10 ^ 8 m / s ) / ( 540 * 10 ^3 Hz )

                                       = 555.55 m

minimum wavelength = ( 3 * 10 ^ 8 m / s ) / ( 1600 * 10 ^ 3 Hz)

                               = 187.5 m

(b).

Maximum wavelength = ( 3 * 10 ^ 8 m / s ) / ( 88 * 10 ^ 6Hz )

                                        = 3.409 m

Minimum wavelength = ( 3 * 10 ^ 8 m /.s ) / ( 108 * 10 ^6 Hz )

                                 = 2.7777 m
