The wavelength and frequency of an electromagnetic wave are related to each other through the following equation c = λv where c is the speed of light, is the wavelength, and v is the frequency. Rearrange the equation to solve for v. V = An electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 6.09 × 10−7 m. What is the frequency of the electromagnetic wave? V = Hz
You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headlights that are 0.605 m apart. At what distance, in kilometers, are you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source? Take the wavelength of the light to be 543 nm and your pupil diameter to be 5.13 mm. distance: km
