Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.587 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}^{-1}, 4.761 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For orange radiation (EMR) of \(\lambda=6300 Å\) (i) Wave number, \(\bar{v}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{6300 Å}=\frac{1}{6300 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}}\) \(=1.587 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}^{-1}\) (ii) Frequency,…
