What region of the electromagnetic spectrum contains wavelengths the size of an atom? (10^-10 meters) What frequency does this wavelength correspond to?


Sagot :


If a photon has a wavelength of about 10^-10 meters, it would be certainly in the X rays region and it would have a frequency of 2.99792458x10^18 Hz, that you can easily calculate using the relation that states that the product of the wavelength and the frequency of an electromagnetic wave aka light is always equal to 299,792,458 m/s which is the exact value of the speed of light!
