The wavelength of green light in an acrylic block is 3.60×10−7 m3.60 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m}3.60×10−7 m.
The speed of green light in the acrylic block is 1.92×108 m/s1.92 \times 10^8\text{ m/s}1.92×108 m/s.
Calculate the frequency of this green light in the acrylic block.
Use the equation: wave speed=frequency×wavelength\text{wave speed} = \text{frequency} \times \text{wavelength}wave speed=frequency×wavelength
Give your answer to 2 significant figures.
A sign has a green background with a white letter P on it.
What is the colour of the background and the letter P when viewed under pure red light?
Under green light, the letter P is difficult to read. Explain why.
