c = lamda x frequency

@Ivan that’s what I thought too
3*10^8=4.35×10−3 m * (frequency)

so C being a constant value of the speed of light
and teh value im given its just

C/Value = Answer correct?

Got another one ( my teacher doesnt teach for s***).

Looking for Wavelength (lamda) and i have Energy in joules

Also rather simple. Energy of a photon is E=hv, where h is plank’s constant and v is nu, which is frequency. Then use that with relation to c = lambda x frequency. You should check out Wikipedia. Without going too deep, you can find the necessary equations for most photon work for early physics. Of course, it’s always good to check that they’re right.

“my teacher doesnt teach for s***”

How about trying to read your textbook? These questions sound not like “I do not understand this part of the material”, but rather “give me answers for my homework”.

ahem… notice question. How do i solve this…. not who can do this for me…. and it was kinda due shortly after i asked so i really didnt have time to sift through 12 chapters looking for equations and constants. figured id ask for help on question x while i worked out question y. so when i was done i would have an idea of what i was doing….

please dont mistake me for those kinds of people that dont expect to learn and just ask around for answers….. its rather insulting
