Frequency (y) varies inversely with wavelength (x). Find the frequency (measured in THz ) of blue light if its k value is 175,720 and its wavelength is 230 meters. (Round to nearest whole number if necessary)

Respuesta :

We have been that frequency (y) varies inversely with wavelength (x).

We know that two inversely proportional quantities are in form [tex]a=\frac{k}{b}[/tex], where a is inversely proportional to b and k is constant of variation.

Our required equation would be [tex]y=\frac{k}{x}[/tex].

To find frequency of blue light, we will substitute [tex]k=175,720[/tex] and [tex]x=230[/tex] in our equation as:

[tex]y=\frac{175,720}{230}[/tex]

[tex]y=764[/tex]

Therefore, the frequency of blue light is 764.
