Question

mariam measured the distance for 8 wavelengths of visible light as 5,600 nanometers. what is the distance for 1 wavelength

Answer 1

700 nanometers

Explanation:

8 wavelengths had a combined length of 5,600 nanometers.

We want to find the wavelength (in nm) of 1 of those wavelengths.

We will assume all of them are same wavelength. So, we can basically divide the total of 8 wavelengths by 8 to get 1 wavelength. Thus:

5600/8 = 700

Hence,

1 wavelength distance is 700 nanometers (or 700 nm)
