Calculate the frequency of EMR that has a wavelength of 1.315 micrometers?

Question by greg p: Calculate the frequency of EMR that has a wavelength of 1.315 micrometers?
Im pretty sure that I take Frequency=speed of light/wavelength

So I took:

(3.00x10e8 meters/second) (1 micrometer)
————————————— x —————————–
(1.315 micrometers) (1.0x10e-6 meters)

= 2.281e14 s-1

Does that look right?

Best answer:

Answer by Edgar Hernandez
eeh i got 22813.7 so 2.28x10E4
