30 POINTS PLEASE HELP ASAP

Calculate the wavelength for an x-ray photon with a frequency of 3.0 x 1019 Hz. Don't forget to include the correct unit. Hint: The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s.

Hello!

We have the following data:

f (radiation frequency) =
3.0*10^(19)\:Hz

v (speed of light) =
3.0*10^8\:m/s

λ (wavelength) = ? (in m)

Let's find the wavelength, let's see:


f = (v)/(\lambda)


3.0*10^(19) = (3.0*10^8)/(\lambda)


\lambda = (3.0*10^8)/(3.0*10^(19))


\boxed{\boxed{\lambda = 1*10^(-11)\:m}}\Longleftarrow(wavelenght)\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
