Homework Statement
Find the length of the smallest standing wave that can be formed with light having a frequency of 600THZ.
Homework Equations
[tex]f = 600*10^{12}Hz[/tex]
[tex]c = 2.998x10^{8}\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda f=c[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]\lambda f=c[/tex]
[tex]\lambda (600*10^{12}Hz)=(2.998x10^{8}\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = \frac{2.998x10^{8}\frac{m}{s}}{600*10^{12}Hz}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = 4.997x10^{-7}m[/tex]
I think something is wrong because it is asking me to find a the "smallest" indicating that the wave can multiple values.
