The speed of electromagnetic waves (which include visible light, radio, and x rays) in vacuum is 3.0

Question:

The speed of electromagnetic waves (which include visible light, radio, and x rays) in vacuum is 3.0 x 108 m/s.

(a) Wavelengths of visible light waves range from about 400 nm in the violet to about 700 nm in the red. What is the range of frequencies of these waves?

(b) The range of frequencies for shortwave radio (for example, FM radio and VHF television) is 1.5 to 300MHz. What is the corresponding wavelength range?

(c) X ray wavelengths range from about 5.0 nm to about L.0 x 10-2 nm. What is the frequency range for x rays?
