    Frequency of infrared wave is approximately:

    A)  1018 Hz        

    B)  1014 Hz

    C)  109 Hz         

    D)  1016 Hz

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Infrared rays are electromagnetic rays having velocity \[3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]. We know that Frequency \[=\frac{velocity}{wavelength}\] For infrared rays \[\lambda =10,000\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,={{10}^{4}}\times {{10}^{10}}m={{10}^{-6}}m\] \[\therefore \] \[f=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{{{10}^{-6}}}=3\times {{10}^{14}}Hz\] Hence, frequency of infrared rays is approximately \[{{10}^{14}}Hz\].
