Calculate the wave number and frequency of orange radiation having wavelength \(6300 Å\).

Calculate the wave number and frequency of orange radiation having wavelength \(6300 Å\).
  1. \(1.587 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m}^{-1}, 4.761 \times 10^{16} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  2. \(1.587 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~m}^{-1}, 4.761 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  3. \(1.587 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}^{-1}, 4.761 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  4. \(1.587 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}^{-1}, 4.761 \times 10^{16} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)

Solution

For orange radiation (EMR) of \(\lambda=6300 Å\) (i) Wave number, \(\bar{v}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{6300 Å}=\frac{1}{6300 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}}\) \(=1.587 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}^{-1}\) (ii) Frequency, \(\begin{aligned} \mathrm{v} & =\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}{6300 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}} \\ & =4.761 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \end{aligned}\)
