Calculate the corresponding wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation with frequencies of 

(a) 3:0 × 10¹² Hz, 

(b) 1:0 × 10¹⁸ Hz 

(c) 5:0 × 10¹⁴ Hz. 

By referring to Appendix 4, assign each wavelength or frequency to a particular type of radiation (e.g. microwave).

Data from Appendix 4

The frequency of electromagnetic radiation is related to its wavelength by the equation: Speed of light (c) Frequency (v) Wavelength (A) = where c = 3.0 x 108 ms ¹. 1 Wavenumber (1) Wavelength with units in cm¹ (pronounced 'reciprocal centimetre') Energy (E) = Planck's constant (h) x Frequency (v) where h = 6.626 × 10-³4 Js
