Neon gas is generally used in the signboards. If it emits strongly at 616 nm, calculate the frequency of emission,
Neon gas is generally used in the signboards. If it emits strongly at 616 nm, calculate the frequency of emission,

Wavelength of the emitted radiation $=616 \mathrm{~nm}=616 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}$ (Given)
(a)Frequency of the emission $(\nu)$
$
\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}
$
Where, $c=$ speed of the radiation
$\lambda=$ wavelength of the radiation
Substituting these values in the expression for $(\nu)$ :
$
\nu=\frac{3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}{616 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}}

$$
=4.87 \times 10^{8} \times 10^{9} \times 10^{-3} s^{-1} v
$
$
=4.87 \times 10^{14} s^{-1}
$
Frequency of the emission $(\nu)=4.87 \times 10^{14} s^{-1}$
