Frequency, Speed of Light, Wavelength in a Vacuum
Not what you're looking for?
The so-called "hydrogen alpha (Ha) line" is a specific wavelength of red light caused by excited atomic hydrogen. It is frequently used when studying the Sun. The wavelength of Ha is 656.3 nm, or 656.3*10-9 m. The speed of light in vacuum is 3*108 m/s. What is the frequency (in units of cycles per second, or 1/s) of Ha in vacuum?
