Frequency of Yellow Light with Wavelength 600nm
The frequency of yellow light with a wavelength of 600nm can be calculated using the formula:
\[ f = \frac{c}{\lambda} \]
where:
- \( f \) is the frequency of light in hertz,
- \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum (approximately \(3 \times 10^8 m/s\)),
- \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of light in meters.

Calculation
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[ f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{600 \times 10^{-9}} \]
\[ f = 5 \times 10^{14} Hz \]
Therefore, the frequency of yellow light with a wavelength of 600nm is \( 5 \times 10^{14} Hz \).

Explanation
Yellow light falls within the visible spectrum of light, which ranges from 400nm to 700nm. Different colors of light have different wavelengths, with yellow light having a wavelength around 600nm. The frequency of light is inversely proportional to its wavelength, meaning that shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies. In this case, yellow light with a wavelength of 600nm has a frequency of \( 5 \times 10^{14} Hz \). This frequency represents the number of oscillations per second of the electromagnetic waves that make up yellow light.
