Question 9

Some properties of different bands of infrared (IR) radiation are shown in the table below.

Infrared BandWavelength rangeAtmospheric transmission
IR-A780 nm to 1400 nmHigh
IR-B1400 nm to 3000 nmMedium
IR-C3000 nm to 5000 nmLow

The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is 3.00 × 108 m/s.

Calculate the frequency of the shortest wavelength of IR-B radiation. Show your working and give your answer to 3 significant figures.
