It is determined that a certain wave of infrared light has a wavelength of 8.45 mm. Given that c=2.99 ×108 m/s, what is the frequency of this infrared wave? (Round your answer to three significant figures.) Hz

The frequency of infrared wave is 35.385 GHz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of infrared light = 8.45 mm = 8.45 x m

Velocity of infrared light = 2.99 x m/s

To find: frequency of the infrared wave = ?

We know that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional and the formula to derive frequency with velocity and wavelength is:

c = μλ, where

c is velocity of light

μ is frequency of light

λ is wavelength of light

Hence the frequency of light  μ = c/λ

                                                     =

                                                     = x

                                                     =  35.385  x   Hz   (since 1 = 1 Hz)

                                                     = 35.385 GHz

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​
