Accepted Answer

The frequency and wavelength of this radiation is 26666.66 x 10¹⁵ Hz and  1.125 nm respectively.The energy of the x-ray is 110KeV1eV = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J Then 110keV = 110 x 1000 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J 110keV = 176000 x 10⁻¹⁹ J plank's constant = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴JSAs we know photon energy is given by E = hv where E = Enregy h = plank's constant v = frequencythenE = hv 176000 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴JS x v v = (176000 x 10⁻¹⁹ J) / (6.6 x 10⁻³⁴JS)v = 26666.66 x 10¹⁵ Hz now, wavelength is given as λ = c/v where λ = wavelengthc =  speed of light v = frequency λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s ) / (26666.6610¹⁵ Hz) λ = 1.125 x 10⁻⁷ m = 1.125 nm.The frequency and wavelength of this radiation is 26666.66 x 10¹⁵ Hz and  1.125 nm respectively.To know more about radiations https://brainly.com/question/13523272#SPJ4
