A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in our atmosphere is ozone, O3O3. In particular, ozone absorbs radiation with frequencies around 9.38*1014 HzHz. What is the wavelength λλlambda of the radiation absorbed by ozone? Express your answer in nanometers.

    0.03052 nm

    Explanation:

    From c = f¥

    Where c = speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum = 3x10^8 m/s

    f = frequency of the wave

    ¥ = wavelenght of the wave.

    ¥ = c/f = (3x10^8) / (9.38*10^14)

    = 3.052x10^-7 m

    = 0.03052 nm
